Refund for Windows 8 on Lenovo Notebook Notebook

    This post sets out my story on returning windows 8.
    I bought a Lenovo laptop in a Notebook store. They managed to return the money in pre-trial order, for which many thanks to the store. It saved time for both me and you. It also reduced your costs for my lawyer (if I won the case, and I would definitely win), a fine of 50% of the transaction value, as well as the payment of forfeit. In addition, I would demand the return of the well-known cost of Windows 8, and not the amount that Lenovo determined.




    Read what needs to be done to return the eight.


    First of all, you need to get a return manual. You can download it here .
    I read this training manual. Now you can listen to it like an audiobook. But keep in mind: this is complex material, so for a more detailed perception, you still need to have texts before your eyes. This audio method is for those who want to quickly familiarize themselves with the training manual. You can listen here .
    pvp can update the training manual when free. A new excuse for sellers: a return for windows 8 is not possible, since the key is sewn into the BIOS.

    Where is the information?


    среда 23 октября 2013
    Первым делом я полез на сайт Lenovo, чтобы найти процедуру возврата компенсации за ос. Ничего даже близко к этой теме на их сайте найти не удалось. В интернете гуляет только нерабочая ссылка www.pc.ibm.com/europe/microsoft/ru/os_return_policy.html.
    Единственное где можно хотя бы посмотреть что там было — web.archive.org/web/20120606043625/http://www.pc.ibm.com/europe/microsoft/ru/os_return_policy.html это последний бекап страницы на вебархиве.
    Как обстоит дело с возвратом у них, вообще не совсем понятно. Должна же быть актуальная страница с описанием процедуры!
    На этом форуме выложена чуть подправленная версия заявления, вытащенная с вебархива, в формате odt

    I called in Lenovo (8 499 705 62 04).
    protocol
    - Hello, tell me where can I find information about the return procedure?
    - Have you already purchased a laptop or not?
    - Not.
    - And which laptop do you want to purchase?
    - Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13
    - It's with windows 8, right?
    - Yes.
    - Our database contains the following information: from the time of purchase, you have 15 days to contact the seller, but before that you do not need to activate windows.
    - I.e. I turn to the seller, leave him a statement ...
    - Yes, yes, yes ... that you refuse the operating system. After that, they have this return procedure.
    - Can I see a sample statement somewhere?
    - The seller should already know this procedure.
    - I.e. I ask for a sample from him?
    - Yes, he has all this information. After the acquisition already.
    - Thanks.
    - All the best.

    Bottom line: the manufacturer kicks the buyer to the seller. Well, in general, it’s more convenient for me to immediately take money from the seller.

    Conversation with the manufacturer


    Saturday October 26, 2013 16:16 The
    second call in Lenovo
    protocol
    - In order to improve the quality of service, a call can be recorded and distributed.
    [well, their system is dumb. You need to name the serial number, which I don’t have and repeat the robot several times that I don’t have it]
    - Lenovo Support Center, Vadim. I'm listening.
    - Hello, tell me, please, your number, so that you don’t immediately connect to the robot, but specifically to you.
    - Press 0 to connect to the operator.
    - And your specific number?
    - We don’t have one, i.e. usually distributed on the first free operator.
    - My question is long, and I would not want to explain everything from scratch to a new operator from scratch.
    - Everything is registered with us in our database.
    - Good. Once again, what's your name?
    - Vadim.
    - Vadim, I have such a question. I called here to customer support for a refund of the cost of the wasps, and they told me that the seller is responsible for the return.
    - Yes, that's right.
    - However, after calling the seller, it turned out that the seller was not doing this (their experts do not practice this). In this case, who is to blame? Lenovo or a store?
    - In principle, you were correctly told that sellers are doing this. If the seller is not familiar with the return policy, give them our number and we will email them the operating system return policy.
    - Specifically, the seller Player ru. They said that they did not do this and did not know. I told them that I called you already. They should have sent you a request about the instructions. You can check?
    - Good. And when exactly did you talk to them?
    - The conversation was on Thursday or Friday.
    - What is their email address?
    - Well, probably, “player ru” should be present in the name.
    “Just a second, please ... Unfortunately, no.” No request came from them.
    - OK, fine. And another question: why on the site there is no information about this procedure and how then should the buyer even know that this is possible?
    - In principle, this procedure is confidential and only for sellers.
    “But the buyer must somehow find out that such a procedure exists.” And instructions on how to proceed?
    - Unfortunately, this is not on our site.
    - You can give your email address where you can send a request and I will ask you to answer it in a letter.
    - Well, please tell me your email address, I will send you a test letter.
    - Mine@mail.ru
    - I sent you. Please see if you have received.
    - Yes, I received. I will send a request to him. Another question: how much is returned when win8 is abandoned?
    - windows 8 simple?
    - Name both that and that, for information.
    - for windows 8 simple - 400r, for professional - 1600, in my opinion.
    - Is this the exact information?
    - Yes.
    - Well thank you.
    - All the best.

    Bottom line: Apparently, the player ru did not send a request. They misinform me. Lenovo says that information about the return is only for sellers. What the?? Let's make a competent request to them, with links to articles that they violate (failure to provide information?). And you also need to demand a refund, in the amount of the cost of the version of Windows, and not the amount that some uncle invented retroactively. In the training manual described. Now I will make a request.

    - Shop, Sergey. Good afternoon.
    - Hello, I want to buy a Lenova IdeaPad Yoga 13 laptop in your store and abandon the pre-installed operating system. It has windows 8. How does this procedure work for you?
    - This, well, at least with the seven, you had to write a statement in lenovo and until that time the laptop seemed to climb into the Lenovo service. So that they delete it all there.
    - Can you write a statement in your store?
    - Well, we did it once with Lenovo. The whole operation took about forty days.
    - Wow!
    - Now, wait five minutes, try to find.
    - Are you looking for a procedure manual now?
    - Yes. But something for now ... but it also seems to remain through the service. Well, yes, that is, through a service center.
    - Last time you did in the store?
    - Not. Well, that is, the laptop was left to us, we drove it to the Lenovo service center, there it was formatted accordingly and returned to us, we returned it back.
    - Why so long?
    - We basically drove him pretty quickly, and then just waited for the laptop from there, from the service.
    - And can this procedure be done with the courier, if I make an order with delivery? Format it under him, give him these stickers, and ...
    - No, it’s only through the service, because there will need confirmation that ... First, you will need to write a statement to refuse the operating system and this is only for self-delivery.
    - Do you have application forms in the store, right?
    - I think it’s possible to request a form; there it can even be in free form. In general, it was a couple of times this situation. Better to call back on Monday, I think they can clarify there.
    - Thanks a lot.

    - Now I will try to clarify this issue, because this is the first time a person wants to return the Windows that is installed on the computer. Thanks for waiting. You see, we have all these laptops supplied by the manufacturer and this is factory Windows 8. Unfortunately, we cannot ... You see, he comes to us closed in a box. We can’t take it open ourselves and start deleting something there.
    - I understand. I purchase it, open it, then I write you a refusal statement and the store should return the funds to me. So I ask how?

    - Without Windows, you can buy if the model originally went without windows.
    - The fact is that the Windows license agreement says that you can refuse to accept the agreement and I can ask the seller to refund the money paid for the rights to use the OS, along with the computer.
    - I understand, but we don’t have such a “service” now on Windows 8. That is, if there is any system, it remains. You can carry it yourself.

    Thank you for the information, but there is no information on the windows 8 operating system under the link that you provided, and it is also impossible to download the application form. Please correct, since I need to send the seller official information from you.

    During a telephone conversation with the operator (October 26, 2013 16:16), I asked what to do if the seller refuses to return the money. The operator advised you to give your phone number so that you send an email with a refund policy. But the problem is that some sellers (for example, TopKompyuter.ru, Notik.ru, Yulmart.ru) flatly refuse to carry out these actions and claim that this procedure is impossible. They did not even send you a request. What should I or you need to do in this case?

    From: "Akulov Andrey"

    If sales are already underway, and there is no return procedure now, then this is a violation of the
    law on protection of competition article 11 (prohibition of restrictive
    competition agreements) clause 5 (imposing on the counterparty the terms of the
    contract that are unfavorable for him).

    The terms of the contract that infringe on the rights of the consumer are
    invalid.
    The acquisition of the right to use the result of intellectual activity
    (OS), which determines the acquisition of a computer, is a condition of the contract that
    violates the consumer's rights.
    There are no normative acts obliging the seller to complete the computer with the
    operating system, therefore, the license agreement is
    imposed on the buyer by the seller. Buyers are entitled to reimburse them
    demand from the seller (clause 1, 2 of article 16 of the ЗЗЗПП).

    In addition, the operating system is not a thing, but is the
    result of intellectual activity and
    can not be “used” in any way . The activation record for my copy of Microsoft os may be
    canceled. Moreover, as far as I know, on the computer
    I'm going to purchase, not the BIOS, but UEFI.

    Another reason for not accepting the Microsoft license agreement is that the seller gives it as part of the computer’s contract of sale.
    The buyer concludes it under the influence of misconception. Article 180 of the Civil Code gives the
    buyer the opportunity to demand invalidation of not the entire
    transaction, but only part of it.

    Лицензионное соглашение Майкрософт, являющееся договором присоединения,
    лишает прав, обычно предоставляемых по договорам такого вида, исключает
    и ограничивает ответственность другой стороны и содержит явно
    обременительные условия для присоединившейся стороны, которые она исходя
    из своих разумно понимаемых интересов не приняла бы, при наличии у неё
    возможности участвовать в определении условий договора (ст. 428ГК).

    В соответствии со статьей 460 ГК, продавец обязан передать покупателю
    товар свободным от любых прав третьих лиц. Неисполнение продавцом этой
    обязанности дает покупателю право требовать уменьшения цены товара.

    Я еще раз прошу Вас направить запрос в Lenovo по вопросу процедуры
    return, notify me of this, and also ask you to name the email address from
    which the request will be made in Lenovo so that I can call them and
    make sure that you really sent the request.
    Otherwise, I will be forced to file a complaint with the consumer and go to court.

    - Fwd: Refund for preinstalled windows
    Oct 28. at 15:23
    From: “Voitto Alyona”
    To: akulovos@yandex.ru

    Andrey, good afternoon.

    Currently, there are quite a few laptop models on which the OS is not preinstalled.
    We offer various goods. The OEM version of the OS is installed at the factory, and we inform the buyer about this.
    If this does not suit you, then you can refuse the contract of sale - we do not force you to do so.
    We offer a specific product and indicate information about it that allows you to make the right choice.
    If you want to use a laptop without an OS, you can choose a laptop without an OS.
    We do not install OS before the sale of goods (unless the buyer makes an application for such a service).

    If you want to receive a response from the company LENOVO, you can contact the contacts listed on their website.

    Sincerely,

    Voitto Alyona - NOTIC Service and Complaints

    I am aware that there are laptops on the market on which the OS is not preinstalled.
    However, I am forced to opt for a laptop with a preinstalled
    Windows OS, since there are no similar models without an OS.
    I appreciate your respect for the buyer that you notify them of the OS
    preinstalled on the computer. However, I require you to comply with the
    law and not obstruct the ability to return the value of the OS.
    Honestly, I did not expect this from your store. They
    wrote reviews about you on the Internet that although you have not the lowest prices,
    everything is in order with law-abidingness.
    The OEM license in plain text says that the buyer has the right to
    return. ZOZPP allows you to apply for a refund directly to the seller.
    This transaction is feigned: the seller is trying to hide under the guise of
    one transaction another. As I already wrote, in accordance with article 180, the
    buyer has the right to demand invalidation of not the entire
    transaction, but only part of it.

    You did not write me the email from which the request was made.

    Since our store does not complete the goods with the operating system, but the manufacturer does it, then all questions regarding the return of funds for the OS should be addressed exclusively to the manufacturer. Our store does not provide a refund for Windows 8.

    Andrey, if you are not satisfied with the goods, then you have the right to refuse the transaction.

    You have informed us of all the properties of the goods, including the fact that the OS is installed by the manufacturer (we do not install it ourselves, thereby WE do not stipulate the contract for anything - we sell the goods that are manufactured and completed at the factory). If this does not suit you, then no one forces you to purchase such a product.

    Some manufacturers previously had a refund procedure when they refused a preinstalled OS (in some cases, certain service centers were involved in this procedure), so you yourself can contact the LENOVO company for clarification (the procedure was previously described on their website, now there are no questions about Win8 no information).

    Alena, thanks for the answer.
    I am aware that I have the right to refuse the transaction. But, as I already wrote, I also have the right to invalidate only part of the transaction. As I already wrote, if there is no similar model on sale without an operating system, the purchase of just such a computer is due to additional conditions with microsoft that are unacceptable to me.
    You convince me that you are selling the goods that come from the manufacturer and do not carry out the return procedure, although you are obliged to transfer them free of the rights of third parties.

    The Lenovo refusal procedure was previously available on the website at www.pc.ibm.com/europe/microsoft/ru/os_return_policy.html , but is now unavailable. I asked them for clarification, after which they prepared a valid link

    www.lenovoplaza.ru/about/news/lenovo_opublikovala_pravila_vozvrata_stoimosti_operatsionnoy_sistemy_microsoft_windows_pri_otkaze_ko
    There really is no information on returning windows 8, although they were given to me in a reply letter. I gave them a comment on this matter, now I am waiting for an answer from them.

    In general, I should not worry about the interaction between the manufacturer and the retailer. I go to the manufacturer and to meet you and try to figure out who is to blame for this situation. I just have to get my money back for the rights to use wasps that I don’t want to buy, but the manufacturer thought what I wanted and included them in the price of the laptop in advance. You can find out details on the current situation by clicking on the link habrahabr.ru/post/199080

    Please try to agree with Lenovo how to solve this issue with the return of wasps. If the parties do not agree, I will file a complaint with Consumer Supervision against Notik, and against Lenovo with the Federal Antimonopoly Service. Now I am preparing the text of the complaint. If the store agrees with Lenovo to return, I ask you to notify me immediately.
    Hope for understanding.

    Andrei,
    There was never any information on the links you indicated about Win8 OS.

    According to previous Win family OS, there was a procedure. And it provided for the formatting of the hard drive and the removal of the sticker, as a guarantee of the authenticity of the OS.

    Now there is no such possibility, since the key is not transmitted to the buyer on the sticker.

    If you are already so tuned, then write an official complaint. We will consider it, but for now there is an unofficial correspondence between us, in which I cannot even identify you as a subject of legal space.

    Sincerely,

    Made an order for a laptop. In the comment on the order, he asked the seller to familiarize himself with the procedure for returning windows. The manager called. I told him once again that I was going to abandon the pre-installed small software. The manager said that for this you have to go to the service and complaints department, write a statement and they will return the money.

    Return procedure


    Came to the store. I bought it. Windu did not even turn it on, booted from a flash drive. I went to the service and complaints department (he is in the same building). When it came to me, I said that we would draw up a waiver from Windows. The man was surprised, said that he did not know this, and called the head of the department (I corresponded with her).
    She said that they won’t return anything to me. She refused to accept the written declaration of refusal, saying that we didn’t get a refund, and this statement does not mean anything to them. In the end, I was asked to write a claim. I wrote to the complaint book that I intend to contact the Rospotrebnadzor, and I promised to send a complaint to the jurradres.
    The next day, Alena called and said that Lenovo had informed them the rules of procedure. This conversation turned out to be very interesting. But I will not bring it, so as not to clutter up the article.

    To return, I had to go through: a sales receipt, a statement, a Windows sticker, a serial sticker. All this I sent to the mail Alena. She sent these photos to suppliers, and they, in turn, in Lenovo. From Lenovo it was necessary to find out how much money I needed to return. After receiving confirmation from them, the answer goes down the chain.
    The answer did not come. I asked several times in what condition the question is. About a week passed.
    Prepared a claim, which I intended to send them to the yuradres. And just a minute before going to the post office, a letter arrived that you can come to collect money.

    On November 13, 2013, I arrived at the store, gave the original disclaimer, on which the Windows sticker was pasted. I wrote a repair request, where in the malfunction I indicated the Windows 8 preset, and in the demand - that I ask you to return the money for it. All kinds of pieces of paper were reinforced there.
    I went up to the cash desk with this, signed that the requirement was fulfilled, I have no complaints, struck out Windows 8 on the check and gave the money back.
    Plus, I received a gift flash drive of 8 gigabytes from notation. At least some encouragement for choosing an expensive store =)

    What to do next


    So, I spent all this 3 weeks. The result, of course, is positive, but not everyone is ready to spend so much time on socially useful work. Further it will be easier and easier, so I ask all the Khabrovites and visitors of the site: please, if you do not need windows, do not pay tribute to the nice ones. Try to get things done like me. From the positive aspects, it can be noted that I began to navigate much better in the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights. This knowledge will not be superfluous. You see, more than once come in handy. I can also say that I pulled one store into the White List.

    The next time I buy a computer, I will go to another store. And I will definitely make this return. If someone now plans to carry out the same operation as me, then go to the Topcomputer. They must be put in place for rudeness to the buyer.
    Of course, it is advisable to disclose your story so that we all see the result.

    Now about the complaint to the supervisory authorities. Lenovo does not notify consumers anywhere that it is possible to refuse Windows. On the website of their store there is an old age (outdated news) about the return procedure, in which there is no talk about windows 8. At first they decided to use this in the service department in Notika. So far I have changed my mind about filing a complaint with the FAS on Lenovo, because this is the only manufacturer that has determined the return procedure from the seller. It would be better to file a complaint against all other manufacturers who drive the consumer to the SC.

    Only registered users can participate in the survey. Please come in.

    Did you manage to get your money back for Windows?

    • 86.1% None. I did not return. 442
    • 7.6% None. I could not get a refund. 39
    • 6.2% Yes, my money was returned to me 32
