7.11 Warranty Laws
The following laws govern warranties that arise in retail sales of consumer goods:
The California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act [CC §§1790 et seq],
The California Uniform Commercial Code, Division Two [Com C §§2101 et seq], and
The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act [15
USC §§2301 et seq; 16 CFR Parts 701– 703]. A typical Magnuson-Moss Act warranty is a
written promise that the product is free of defects or a written promise to refund, repair, or
replace defective goods. [See 15 USC §2301(6).] Remedies include damages for failing to
honor a written warranty or service contract or for violating disclosure provisions. [See 15
USC §2310(d).] Except for some labeling and disclosure requirements, the federal Act does
not preempt state law. [See 15 USC §2311.]
The Consumer Warranty Act does not affect the rights and obligations of parties under the
state Uniform Commercial Code, except the provisions of the Act prevail over provisions of the
Commercial Code when they confl ict. [CC §1790.3.]
For purposes of small claims actions, this course will focus on rights and duties under the state
laws.

Touch screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
• Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the
on-screen keyboard.
• Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by tapping it and not lifting your
finger until an action occurs.
• Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your
finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the Home
screen to reposition them.
• Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the
screen, without pausing when you first tap it (so you don’t drag an item instead).
• Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map (if the feature is supported by
the application).
• Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading motion to
zoom in or out when using the browser or Maps, or when browsing pictures (if the feature is
supported by the application).
• Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the screen orientation adjusts to
the device's physical orientation.
NOTE:
Do not press too hard; the tap screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet firm tap.
Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap any other keys.
