Whether the OP's behavior was "sensible" is neither here nor there for our purposes here. If I leave my house unlocked, it doesn't mean it's ok for someone to walk in and take my belongings. And you are applying the word sensible to the behavior of the OP. This is not what I was talking about. I was talking about the interpretation of the phrase "Risk Free Trial". If you can come up with a plausible alternative reading, please share it. They clearly meant to give people the impression that they meant "Risk Free Trial", when they were really offering "Risk Free with Major Caveats". To reiterate. Regardless of whether the OP's behavior was incautious, Bel Canto behaved poorly. Their only possible defense is that they were "sloppy" in the design of their marketing materials. This may be a good legal defense, but I personally am sick to the teeth of it: we've seen this time again from politicians and corporate malefactors. It seems pretty obvious that they were intentionally being deceptive. Even if it _were_ sloppiness, it would ensure that I never did business with them. The fact remains: I now regard Bel Canto as a company not worth doing business with. It apparently appears that way many others on this thread, as well. -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31562 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
