Subject: Re: [Leica] Warranty Issues

The international warranty is for a set period regardless of ownership 
(governed under local and national statutes). The passport (and any 
extended warrantee as far as I know) are just fancy insurance policies 
and are not transferable. These are usually offered though, or backed 
by, a third party insurer who likes to keep it as narrowly  and as 
favorably defined as possible without looking too silly. The Leica 
Passport is borderline too silly as it does not offer fire or theft 
protection.

So yes and no. The international warrantee will be in effect regardless 
of who owns it but the fancy "just return the serial number" insurance 
policy is only valid with original owner.

I also realize this situation may not please you Austin. Though I am 
not responsible, I none the less wish to extend my heartfelt 
apologies... :-)
