Cheers cashy,

Just found this on that site :

Is the trader right?

(for England, Wales and Northern Ireland)
The law considers that the seller of the goods is always liable for breaches of contract, such as goods being faulty. You are only entitled to a refund if the goods are defective, not as described or not fit for their purpose (exceptions for distance selling and buying in your own home). Traders cannot state “no refunds”.


So by the looks of things, due to the laptop being not as described and also having pirated software (almost certainly illegal) i am due a refund, please feel free to correct me if im wrong....hopefully someone will know more about this sort of thing than i do.
