I don't know how it is where you are, but in the UK, as I understand it, |

every sale is deemed to embody an implied contract* between buyer and |
| 7 |
seller. Either party is always free to specify whatever conditions he likes |
| 8 |
prior to the sale, and the other can accept them or not. |

Who mentioned intended use, or Linux? Just stipulate that the goods must not |
| 18 |
require any particular software to operate. Simple - assuming that your |
| 19 |
legal system works similarly enough to ours, of course. |

It was just a suggestion, anyway. Take it or leave it. :-) |
