Ditto if I buy a computer. I can resell without rendering it useless and having to pay microsoft again.

Ditto your Subaru. Its useless without its software and Subaru kindly lets you transfer the car and software to someone else at no cost.

Ditto Diablo, Cobb, SCT, Hypertech, bullydog etc

Pretty well everything in north America can be bought and resold. Its the American way.

So it is UNREASONABLE to do it ecutek way. And blaming someone for not reading the manual BEFORE they even have it in their hands.... especially all that lengthy legal crap is unreasonable.
The Shark Injector is the same way for BMW vehicles. If you try it use it on another vehicle, it will NOT work. You CANNOT sell it. You own the license, it is non-transferable and the unit is BOUND to the ECU in which you first flashed with it. I did the research before I bought it, so I knew what I was getting into.

When you start to make assumptions, you set yourself up for a bad time.

This is not a widely purchased consumer device like a TV.
This is a very niche market item. Its unreasonable to compare the two.

The "American Way" means that if you don't like it, don't buy it and instead research alternatives.

Do you know how many people realize that Vortech does not warranty a compressor if you start it below 25F ambient temperature?
Not a lot, because they didn't care to read/ask about the specific warranty information before buying.
