This is KfC own t's and c's; therefore It would be up to KfC to vet every customer and prove that they have done ample due diligence to assure they haven't sold to any residential customer. Methinks they would fall flat on their face in this matter. Why? By agreeing to the T&C you have stated to them that you are a business customer. Why should they have to investigate whether you were lying? Because they made the invoices and they received the money from private persons, not from a business. The question is why to they need to investigate your lie? Alternatively, you weren't lying, and did intend to buy for business purposes, in which case why should you be able to change your mind now? You signed up to crappy T&C. You knew they were crappy at the time. You knew KNC have shafted people on refunds before, and delivered late before. |

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

The only use for a Bitcoin miner is to make money, which sounds like a business activity? |

No; KfC did not place any reasonable restrictions on sales to combat the purchase of the product by individuals and; no, mining bitcoin is not a business activity - it is not subject to the same tax laws as my businesses are. They have no need to prevent sales to individuals, as individuals can conduct a business. They don't say that they will only sell to organisations, to to business with VAT numbers, or anything else. The only restriction is on the agreed intent of the purchaser: 'to conduct a business'. Only the purchaser can know their intent. The T&Cs are clearly designed to restrict your rights. This has been the case right back from the start with the first miners they sold. This was pointed out several times. People signed up anyway. Their choice. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me? It may well be that you could eventually win a court case overturning parts of their T&Cs. But noone is ever going to spend the time and money to do that, and both they and you know that. |

Methinks they would fall flat on their face in this matter. Why? By agreeing to the T&C you have stated to them that you are a business customer. Why should they have to investigate whether you were lying? by placing such restrictions and then offering a free web portal for sales. Any lawyer would find ease in tearing apart KfC arguments. It is quite simple to assure business-to-business trade, by requiring company number or VAT registration number. None of this was carried out and it was the case that KfC simply put up a web shop for all and sundry to make purchase of their equipment. Sorry to burst your bubble mate, but VAT number was required. Every EU customer had the option to provide VAT number or pay 20% tax on top on the $10-13k and I'm guessing not a single person opted to pay the 20%. u27 |

I ordered without to start with and KnC gave me the option to pay VAT or provide VAT registration number some time later. |

OK, it's good to thrash these things out, as it is clearly becoming a viable option to begin some sort of action against this company.
Thanks to MurrayPaul for his insight and logic, which a lot of; makes sense. To do this, people are going to need to know the pitfalls expected and the options available.
The best thing would be for KfC to just honour all refund requests; it's not as though they are short of the funds - having competed against their own customers for this long.

They should at this time just be honest about the situation; which it feels like they have forgotten how to do. I see two options for them to avoid legal action at this stage; they could offer HWYW AND 2nd Neptune to all customers who have not as yet had their first Neptune dispatched or they could offer full refunds to outstanding orders. Clearly they should offer both options, but either one would swing any court action in their favor. Can we get an idea of how many people have been screwed over at this stage? Is it the majority of batch one? u27 |

KnC's first three lies: We are Swedish miners that are producing our own ASIC miners to strengthen the market and avoid monopoly. A lot of scam sites are appearing every day and we are not one of them We will in the upcoming weeks opening our order book to allow the purchase of our first set of ASIC miners. They are in the early stages of development now and will be ready in the summer of 2013 |

Somebody asked about my (now pointless) cable to run Neptune from 2x20A virtual rails on AX1200i; response for all to see as below. It was just a splitter using three 8 pin CPU power sockets. However I have updated my design since. It now has two 8 pin plugs which fit the AX1200i directly and 16x20AWG cables taking the 12v to a heavy duty 8 pin socket as below; the original Corsair cable plugs into the heavy duty socket and the current is split across two virtual rails. Shame KnC don't have any chips left! u27   |

The only reason you came back here to read this thread is because you are sad that you already cashed out. Sucker. |

Ever heard of this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business*Financial businesses include banks and other companies that generate profits through investment and management of the capital. *Sole proprietorship: A sole proprietorship is owned by one person and operates for their benefit. The owner may operate the business alone or with other people.

All assets of the business belong to a sole proprietor, including, for example, computer infrastructure, any inventory, manufacturing equipment and/or retail fixtures, as well as any real property owned by the business. OMG!... and if you really think you're "not liable for taxes" like you said, you had better talk to an accountant soon.

like scamming people is not a business endeavour. offering to pay people to help you and not paying them is not a business endeavour. crying like a baby because someone stole your coins and being assisted by people (in their spare time) for no reward whatsoever is not a business endeavour. you are a total amoeba - how dare you question my remarks. GTFO. |
