ricecake gave a good answer already. In the EU you have 2 years. In the first 12 months the company has to prove that it wasn't their fault, in the next 12 months you have to prove it was their fault.
If no such law is in place, nothing protects you from them using cheap materials that break after a few months.
E.g. I once had a free xbox-replica controller every year because their product was shit and it broke after ~6-9 months. They had to replace it and did so three times. Then I got my money back. Selling * doesn't work here.
I get that but honestly the team is pretty good. They are open to stuff. Try reaching out to some of them I'm sure they would be willing to do that
I was unable to find contact information quickly, but I highly doubt that they are willing to do that. I just can't see them going "Yea, we thought 30 days are fine. Let's give you a year (or two)"
dang. ty for the explainer.
