Google Bans Users From Reselling

Google Bans Users From Reselling and Lending Glass

---

Explorer editions of Google Glass began rolling out to customers as of Tuesday, but the company has enforced restrictions on those lucky new owners, banning them from reselling and lending the eyewear.

Here's what the company's terms of sale state:

"You may not resell, loan, transfer or give your Device to any other person. If you resell, loan, transfer or give your device to any other person without Google's authorization, Google reserves the right to deactivate the Device, and neither you nor the unauthorized person using the Device will be entitled to any refund, product support or product warranty."

While users can't commercially resell Glass, however, Google says they can give the device as a gift.

A Google Glass listing popped up on eBay in February, with a starting price of $1,500 (the original cost of the eyewear). That number eventually shot up to $16,000 before eBay removed the listing for violating its "presale listings policy."

Glass owners who don't want their device have up to 30 days from delivery to cancel their purchase, according to the terms. Google asks that returns include original packaging and accessories, and remain in "reasonable" condition.

The company adds that it will provide "initial support" for existing orders, returns, defective devices and general technical support.

Do you think Google's terms are reasonable or not? Discuss in the comments, below.
