Re: Is Arris Telephony modem really not Comcast compatible ?
said by Goober  :said by tshirt : Goober, It is a deposit. similar to paying a deposit to a landlord when renting or leasing an apt. or house. It certainly doesn't include the full value of the property/potential damages nor is it an offer to sell. I don't see that in the agreement. The section of paragrph 6 that I quoted above seems to pretty explicitly state that they are going to seek full damages, including equipment costs and related recover costs. Also, I don't see any language whatsoever regarding deposits, etc. it is a deposit.
as a landlord, I cannot expect a deposit in the total value of a property, let alone the cost of cleanup of a tenant caused problem (i.e. drug lab residue, fire cleanup, etc( if they had that kind of money they could buy a nicer house for cash) )
however the deposit is to coerce (most reasonable people) to return said property, in the same condition as delivered, minus "Normal" wear and tear (i.e. normal usage for the implied purpose of a object) the deposit doesn't pay the full value (plus recovery costs) of the object, and withholding the deposit (with proper notice) does not release ownership (or the right to recover the cost of recovery, repair, replacement or prosecution.
YOU may not like their (CC's) contract, under tort law an offended party may file suit. OR if YOU think CC has shown willful disregard of common law and /or consumer regulations YOU could possibly find/solicit enough offend party's to file a class action (you'd be "ambulance chasing " to solicit client to pursue your own opinions )
CC contracts are somewhat vague, but as their lawyers see fit, (good luck with your claim in the real world). |
