Thanks. reading the rest of the document I think I see what the point is here.

This basically adds an extra layer of legal protection for motorola against people unlocking the bootloader, installing bad things on it, then selling it on.

The whole t&cs are basically "use this software and it will be considered legally as intentionally breaking the device".

It doesnt stop anyone selling the device - but it does shift any warranty or damage claims directly onto whoever broke it.

selling a "broken" mobile as working has wider implications because of the SOS call laws.

IMHO.




> .. It doesnt stop anyone selling the device ..

I'm sorry but the text says otherwise ..

“Once you unlock the device, you can only use it for your personal use, and may not sell or otherwise transfer the device.”
