    I don’t think it is because TOS. It would become illegal if they insinuate otherwise (such as stating they will send back your phone once they’re done such as in advertising.)

    Edit: oh right warranty restrictions/regulations never mind.

      Do you really not send your phone off for repair without the expectation that it’s returned when the repairs are complete?

      Refusing to service modified hardware is one thing. Keeping the device is theft, and no ToS has the power to change that.

        Reminds me a bit of ASUS’ current bold strategy to hold customers ransom over their graphics cards through pressure and deception.

        Sounds pretty unenforceable to me.

          The same ones preventing me from opening “Joe Bob’s Pet Grooming and Laptop Repair Emporium” and then stipulating on the 3rd page of the TOS that I get to take ownership of anything that arrives on a Thursday.

          One would assume all the laws against theft. Because that’s what it would be.
