No, actually the entire quote is "CDW makes no representations regarding warranty coverage, compatibility or serviceability for products that are used outside the U.S. "

In other words, CDW is simply indemnifying itself from liability if the original manufacturer's warranty is voided by use outside the US. In the preceding sentence, it mentions that SOME manufacturer warranties are voided by use outside the US. That doesn't necessarily mean that Entourage's warranty does not extend outside the US--but if it doesn't, CDW will provide any sort of supplemental coverage. It's just boilerplate legalese to protect their butts, nothing more.

Go through the fine print of Entourage's warranty and see if use outside the US is explicitly mentioned as a prohibited activity that voids the warranty. My guess is that it isn't, but since it doesn't apply to me, I wasn't looking for that particular exclusion. But if you find something suspicious and need help deciphering it, feel free to post the language here and I (or someone else) will take a stab at interpreting it.


Disclaimer: not a lawyer, but I am a former purchasing agent who had to work my way through quite a few manufacturer warranties to figure out whether or not there were unacceptable loopholes.
