Last time I checked, any such condition on a warranty is illegal.
Where did you check last time. Specifically?
Last night when I began having issues using the refill. Too bad my warranty expired a long time ago.
Anyone remember the "Warranty void is seal broken" sticker fiasco on the early Eee PC netbooks? In the US they couldn't mandate who could open a service panel and also could not mandate what was put in there, and it would have been the burden of proof on ASUS that such procedures directly caused whatever problem one would be having under the warranty. A business cannot specifically mandate that one uses their parts (ie, OEM carts) to service their products. And they cannot refuse warranty service based one the simple use of third party products alone, they must prove cause of failure.
