This is not how the law works anywhere, thankfully.

- TZubiri 2y agoWell for one it was a gift so there is no valid contract right? There are no direct damages because there is nothing paid and nothing to refund. Wrt indirect damages, there's bound to be a disclaimer or two, at least at the app layer. IANAL, not legal advice
- notpushkin 2y agoI’d suppose there is an ALL CAPS NO WARRANTY clause as well, as is customary with freeware (and FOSS). ToDesktop is a paid product, though.
- remram 2y agoIf you give someone a bomb, or give someone a USB stick with a virus, or give someone a car with defective break, you are absolutely liable. Think about it.
- ImPostingOnHN 2y agoIf you give someone a USB stick with a virus, and you don't know about the virus, you aren't liable. Unless maybe you gave them some sort of warranty or guarantee that it was virus-free. The lesson: don't use USB sticks people give you, unless you have your own way of verifying that they're virus-free. Also, don't give people bombs. That's usually illegal, unlike giving someone software with unknown bugs in it.
