Because to me, a professional device would be something you need to do extra stuff on before it can mine (buy a PSU, config settings, connect cables). So KNC miner would be a professional device as it is not "simply plug in and mine".
By the way, professional device doesn't mean that it has a professional design. Show me where they say this? They even said before that design is not important to them like BFL.
All they've ever promised is to meet a shipping date, remain compeitive and use margins upon margins and components that are overkill for the purpose so the damn thing works, ships on time, and they don't get trumped before Sept when planning way back in April/May (or before).
We know that knc claiming they only sell to business to business is to sidestep consumer laws - everything you talk about - section 75 etc.
I expect a consumer device to use mid level "enthusiast-grade" consumer components. I expect better from a so-called professional device. They have promised a professional device.
BS, no they're not, how does it sidestep consumer laws?!
Unless they have written explicit exemption clauses in their terms and conditions, they remain bound by consumer protection;
Business to business sales, are consumer rights applicable?!
In short, yes, unless the company you are dealing with has specifically underwritten terms in their Terms and Conditions negating aspects of your consumer rights. This is known as an exclusion clause, and is yet another reason why Terms and Conditions should always be read and thoroughly discussed in your respective thread.
How do you know if the contract (business to business) takes away your statutory rights?
If the person who sold you the goods or services has taken away your statutory rights, there should be something in your contract about this. For example, it might say the seller isn't responsible for goods that are unsatisfactory, don't match their description or aren't fit for purpose. Or it might say that the seller isn't responsible for any loss you've suffered because of their lack of care or skill. This type of content in a contract is called an exclusion clause.
