> Warranties are just normal contracts. If both parties agree to modify a contract, they are pretty much always allowed to do so. In this case, Motorola is offering a second contract, which modifies an earlier agreement (the warranty) in exchange for the key to unlocking one's phone. That's just not true. Most countries have regulations, or concrete laws, around what manufacturers and retailers are required to offer as warranty, as well as when they're allowed to refuse honoring the warranty. It's not just a "contract". The same way you can't just sign away your labor rights in Germany, for example. Doesn't matter if it's a contract. Laws determine what contracts are actually allowed to do.
