I think it's pretty obvious at this point that it was all just Internet chest beating (i.e. BS).
. You could be right about my success chances but you must not be aware of the several class actions that have already been initiated. I prefer to just deal with DJI fairly and move on, but they are not being fair at all, in fact quite ignorant. I'll only try a civil suit because defending issues with these types of regulations is part of my profession. The major difficulty with this or any civil/class action against DJI is that China is one of very few countries that are not a signatory to the established international law with respect to consumer protection laws. So when you deal with a Chinese company it really is buyer-beware because in cases like this, the consumer may EASILY win the case in a Canadian/US action, but getting the judgement to be enforceable in DJI's jurisdiction may be next to impossible. FYI, DJI's Limited Warranty expressly excludes themselves from any responsibility resulting from any software defects not many people know or understand this...however in the US/Can/EU we are protected by such under the laws related to 'Limited Liability" ...
I've extensive experience in this area, and am considering an action based on the principle of my experience. I could easily just replace and 'move on' but my motivations are more directed at seeking proper justice for my specific details (at the surface one would just dismiss this as 'pilot error' as DJI has; but the truth is different matter and I personally wouldn't care in the least bit if it was my error - I've crashed and burned before and don't have any issue with accepting responsibility when it is due). I see they do have this office in CA. Not sure it is enough to hold the judgement enforceable on DJI though...DJI operates out of a few different LLC's. Their support/warranty is actually a separate legal company- to distance/protect their parent company from $$. I was hoping to get some specific legal info from someone who has done all the filings to save a bit of time in my research. Did you do one of the recent US class actions - I was sure I directed my OP towards someone I though had this experience...was hoping to find this person here; if not I will find him directly by other means....
I was posting and you posted before me so that was for those above your post not at you.Sorry it looked that way .
DJI has assets in CA which is what matters. The difficulty is if you sue in another state, which is what most would do. In my case DJI did not file an answer and did not file an answer. I did not want a default as I'd then need to try to move it to CA which would be a huge pain. At the last hearing, they showed up. We negotiated a settlement. They could have simply called me to discuss but they never did. They were _very_ unorganized. The person they sent was very a wonderful person. What you are really aiming for is that the lawsuit will get them to take the matter seriously and start a conversation.
I filed in small claims court. I doubt you will get a response from the OP... his post was just BS.
All good, no worries and thanks for clarifying.
