> Because of UCC, if I give away a product for free, I have to support it through its commercial life. So if I hand out knives, for free, and they explode after 20 years, I must still support it. Even if they come with a form that users have to click that says “I will not sue PrependCo if these free knives explode.”
Why does the UCC covers free knives, but not paid Google services?
- Spooky23 6y agoBecause Google One, for example, is a service governed by a contract which details performance expectations.
- MockObject 6y agoSo the UCC is only the default, which covers goods/services without their own custom contracts?
- Spooky23 6y agoAll products have a warranty of merchantability defined by UCC. Basically goods need to be average/expected quality. With services it’s a little different because there is no average unless the contract is missing performance terms. If you agree to a term of performance, then that is the obligation.
