| Sugarnutz brought up a good point. This has been debated many times in the software publishers community. The fact is, once you buy something from a vendor, you have to adhere to their policy. Period. You can probably sweet talk your way out of it if you spend a lot of money there. I have before, I have returned items opened software to GC and returned items past the 14 day period.
However, lets say that you install something, don't agree with the License and click no. Vendor doesn't take it back. Well your next step is to take it to the developer. And I have seen this work many times. Whether or not it will work with Waves is another story. But the legal aspect is that if you click no, you have a very good case to not use the license. However, if a company has the terms of the license on their site(ie. Soundsonline.com), and you can access it with ease, then they can make a claim that you had the information avalible before you bought the item.
Next time try this....walk into a vendor, ask them about the return policy on opened software, and then ask them what happens if it doesn't work or I don't like the terms of the license. Ask to speak to the manager and address these concerns. Eventually this will get back to the software publisher and we might see a change on software that doesn't work for us. |
