Is that even legal? It seems similar to the "warranty void" stickers which are nothing more than an illegal scare tactic that many individuals are conned into believing.

- judge2020 5y agoEven if it's illegal it doesn't override user protection laws, so the statement has no effect and they'd need to prove your SDK usage caused an issue with the product to legally deny warranty.
- kahrl 5y agoIt's not just a scare tactic, it's how these companies operate. They will illegally refuse to service products they have an obligation to. Until there are massive class action lawsuits, this isn't changing.
- kotaKat 5y agoThe contract is under Japanese jurisdiction. Does anyone here know Japanese law in regards to something like this?
- ashtonkem 5y agoNo, I don’t think that’s how that works. Your contracts with your customers is under the jurisdiction of where your customers live, not where your company is headquartered. It would be way too easy to side step any law they wished that way. Plus, must camera manufacturers sell through an american subsidiary. I know thats how Canon works.
