*********** and unprofessional line managers

I have purchased a printer from Makro Vaal based on the conditions that I have a 2 year warranty. When I returned the printer 1 year and some days after purchase, I was informed that I should have registered on the manufaturers website in order to be granted the warranty. I was never told of such requirements, the package does not reference the registartion and the installation guide (as told by the manager) makes no reference thereof. Makro Vaal then responded that they are not responsible for any warranty as they only sell the product. Surely you take some after sales responsibility as you sell the product under those conditions. I highly doubt that I will ever support Makro Vaal in future. I cannot commit on not returning to the store as I may have other defective items to return in future.
