Which State's law applies for Extended Warranty purchased over the internet?

Postby yehudi » Wed Mar 28, 2012 11:01 am

A consumer in California buys a TV set and extended warranty over the internet from a retailer in New York. The extended warranty is issued by a company in New Jersey. If the warranty company won't provide service, who does the consumer have a claim against, the retailer, the warranty company, or both? which State's law applies, California, New York or New Jersey?

Generally speaking, the state of claim is determined in the Warranty Contract (never seen one without it). If not, a general rule of thumb is the law of the purchase location applies. If the warranty was purchased with the TV that would be New York.. That is however a rule of thumb ONLY, lots of other factors can influence that, such as where the item was shipped from.
