Why I HATE Handango

[Sav]

Looking at their policies I am amazed anyone would buy from them:
HANDANGO AND ITS PROVIDER(S) MAKE NO WARRANTY (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) REGARDING THE SOFTWARE, AND INSTEAD PROVIDE THE SOFTWARE "AS IS." HANDANGO AND ITS PROVIDER(S) DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, WORMS, TIME BOMBS, LOGIC BOMBS, TRAP DOORS, CANCELBOTS, OR ANY OTHER COMPUTER CODE, FILES OR PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO DISRUPT, INTERRUPT, DISABLE, DAMAGE, DESTROY OR LIMIT THE FUNCTIONALITY OF ANY OF YOUR SYSTEMS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE THAT THE SOFTWARE MAY CONTAIN DEFECTS AND/OR ERRORS OR MAY MALFUNCTION.

That's the thing Steve, most people won't even bother to look at something like that.

Well, you have to admit it isn't very exciting reading....and they know that.

But just think about what they are telling us....They offer to sell something and make a profit, but they accept no responsibility for virtually anything, not even for items they personally author and sell. Not only that if it ruins your hardware, that's too darned bad.

I only took one part of their disclaimer to quote. There is a bunch more...

Probably no different than many others, but given the fact they sell software I was very much amused to see what they deny any responsibility for. It is just so blatant. And people keep buying...

And a poor customer has to replace a defective phone and they won't provide a download for something the customer paid to be able to use? And the reason? Because they can....

Very sad....

Dealing with Handango CSRs is horrible, I have sent various replies to my ticket, and I keep getting the same form letter in return, saying that I can't download it unless I purchase Download Protection. I have emailed Pop Cap, and they said that they licensed it out to EA, so I am trying to figure out how to contact EA Mobile CSRs.

On the upside, I found a Bejeweled.rar file on my media card, so I'm assuming that I just need to pull it off and reinstall it that way. Right afterward I will send it to my gmail account for backup lol.

That sucks Firecracker. Good luck dealing with em.

Just pulled the Bejeweled.rar file off the BB, and it seems that it was some other game called Jewelrumble, which doesn't work on the Storm, so I guess I'm back to the fight
