Apple Fined By Italy For Misleading Customers About Warranty Terms

Posted by Unknown on from the legal-obligations-are-for-other-people dept.

beaverdownunder writes "An Italian watchdog has fined Apple 900,000 euros ($1.2m, £750,000) for failing to inform Italian shoppers of their legal right to two years of technical support, recognizing instead only a one-year standard warranty. This had led people to pay extra for Apple's own support service, AppleCare, which overlapped with the government-mandated guarantee."

    This is EU bullying American companies at its worst. Italy, France and the like need to get a clue. Try having an economy instead of riding Germany.
