If you simply don't like how well it does something...humm...things are less clear.

As for expecting Oz consumer rights when purchasing off shore....

...... I recall a scene in "Spies like us" Chevy Chase proclaims to a Bedouin group "We're Americans!!" Cut to next scene: him gagged, bound and dangling upside down.
In my case Peter I did want to use the program and had no intention of sending it back. I got a nasty email from the publisher after I registered the product which came with a brand new copy of the book I bought from an oz scope shop. I was accused of being a thief for buying the book new off the shelf and installing the software (my legal right even by their own EULA). The email was not about finding out why the program had been previously registered but rather straight for the throat threatening all sorts of rubbish. His tone only changes after I told him to get stuffed as I had every right to install and use the program.
