While you're at it, you might as well cancel your house and contents insurance. If the building burns down, just call up and start a new policy and then submit your claim.
There's a small difference there. If the "event" happens outside your insured period, you're simply not covered. Your house burning down, being flooded, broken into etc, will leave a (police/fire/etc) report that would easily prove your event was at a time you were uninsured.
In the case of a failed switch I concede it may be possible to "hide" it for a while until the support contract was established... but there must be some happy middle ground here between vendors and users!
I wouldn't like to have purchased (in good faith) someones pre-loved box, then try to take out a support contract only to be told I have to fork out 4 years "back-support" on it!
