Before you buy a new product that comes with a guarantee, always read the guarantee very carefully to see which conditions the guarantee does not cover. Conditions that are not covered by the guarantee often appear in very small print!

Read this paragraph and answer the question below.

A Very Sad Story

I recently bought a new computer. The shop that sold me the computer assured me that it was the most up-to-date and reliable model. They also said it had the best protection against all computer viruses, old and new. They gave me a one-year guarantee.

One week later the computer broke down. I couldn’t switch it on and some of the buttons fell off the keyboard. I managed to fix it, but then it was attacked by a computer virus which destroyed all my work. I had the computer "cleaned" and then two weeks later I had a fire and the computer was destroyed completely.
