Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act
United States Code Annotated
Title 15 Commerce and Trade
Chapter 50 Comsumer Product Warranties 15 Section 2302
"(c)No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or
implied warranty of such product on the consumer's using, in connection with such product,
any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the
terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name; except that
the prohibition of this subsection may be waived by the commission if:
The warrantor satisfies the Commission that the warranted product will
function properly only if the article or service so identified is used in connection with
the warranted product, and
the Commission fiinds that such a waiver is in the public interest.
What this means to printer users!
This means that the manufacturer of the printer you are using cannot void
the warranty on your printer because you use a cartridge or refill kit manufactured by
someone other than the printer manufacturer. This prohibition includes the use of
compatible cartridges, clip-ons, continuous feeding mechanisms, refill kits, ink, etc.
The printer manufacturer is not required to make warranty repairs,
however, to printers that have been damaged due to use of a product that they did not
manufacture, co-manufacture or authorize for use in their products. So, be sure of
the supplier you choose when buying third party products for your printer. Check out
the supplier. You can check us out at the Company
page or the InkTec
homepage.
