[quote]SINGAPORE: Since the \"lemon law\" came into effect on September 1, some retailers have rolled out extra measures to encourage customers to carry out thorough checks on their products at the point of purchase....
Neo Tiam Ting, president of the Singapore Vehicle Traders Association, said: \"Customers have a misunderstanding about the 'lemon law'. They think the lemon law equals to a warranty period. But what the 'lemon law' is about is that at the point of purchase, if the car has no defect, then it is not covered under the 'lemon law'.\"[/quote]More information on Lemon Law

[quote]Could lemon law add to costs?
Car dealers raise concerns that new regulation may increase business costs...
And when customers ask for a refund or for the car to be replaced, \"who is the independent (body) to judge what's a fair amount?\" asked SVTA President Neo Tiam Ting.
But the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) said the law is important for those who bought second-hand vehicles as they may not be covered by a warranty.
CASE President Lim Biow Chuan said: \"The lemon law provisions are meant to assist the consumer to go back to the retailer to say, 'look, even though this is a second-hand car, I expected that certain parts of this car would be in a workable condition'.\"
Meanwhile, the SVTA noted not many dealers are aware of how the law works. \"They are not very clear whether we need to pay them, or compensate them, or repair it,\" Mr Neo said.
Best time to get that 2nd hand car... And claim for faulty parts within 6 months? :siam:[/quote]Same to handphones?

Still confusing to me... :?
Retailers ask u sign form to cover their backsides.
Lawyers say the form cannot cover the retailers' backsides.
Lemon Law say I can kick backsides and ask for full refund.
Which is which?

for e.g. after using for a while you found a small scratch at one remote, normally unnoticed area. With the lemon law, you can argue that the defect is there when the item was bought, and under normal usage one would not have contact that area hence producing the scratch.

By signing the form, you ALREADY ack that the product is free of observable defects.. hence, you cannot claim that the defect is present when you bought the item as you already checked it.. so it must be inflicted by you, hence vendor got no liability towards that defect.

Only on the \"appearance\" of the goods?

[quote]'Lemon law' off to a smooth start
But retailers roll out new measures ahead of expected rise in complaints
They are preparing for it by rolling out new measures.
At Club 21, buyers are asked to sign against a statement on an invoice. The same invoice is then signed by a store assistant.
The statement reads: \"I've examined the product and confirmed it is of satisfactory quality, appearance and finish, and free from observable defects.\"

Lawyers said the law cannot be overridden by \"guarantees\" like asking consumers to sign forms. However, these may give retailers a leg to stand on in a dispute, they added.

Under the new law, defective goods - or \"lemons\" - reported within six months of delivery are presumed to have the flaws at the time of delivery.
Buyers seeking recourse must follow a two-stage framework.
First, they can get the retailer to repair or replace the defective item.
If the retailer fails to do so \"within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience\" to the consumer, the second stage kicks in.
In this situation, the buyer can keep the product but demand a discount, or return the product for a full refund.

[quote=\"pinky\"]the retailer either repair, replace or refund within 6 months of purchase

right?

Actually without the lemon law, currently the service providers or retailers I deal with, I often can get repair, replace within 6 months as part of their customer service.

How does Lemon Law works on top of the product's warranty?
I go back to the retailer instead of service centre?
Can I reject repair, or refurbished sets replacement?
I demand the retailer to give me a new replacement set?
:?[/quote]if got warranty, probably need to go there first and not retailer.
