Question. If I install DDen's Maze3 correctly, which I did, and it leaks due to their ill-advised use of acrylic tops and ruins some of my components, who pays? Would I be SOL, or would DDen be responsible for a faulty product? According to all of my law texts, DDen would in fact be responsible, because selling waterblocks that leak would be like selling windshield wipers that melt in the rain, or swimming pool pumps that electrocute swimmers. (no, that's not in the books.. I made it up.  ) i.e., they not only fail to perform their intended function, but they cause damage that a reasonable person would expect not to happen. Does DDen have a disclaimer? Even if they do, a court would most likely not allow it as a defense against a lawsuit. For example, if a secured parking garage claims no liability for damage done to its customers cars, and one of said cars is damaged, the disclaimer would probably be held invalid. The garage has an implied duty to keep the cars safe.
