For an innocent purchaser with a valid receipt, it would be in OBi's interest to readjust the warranty. If they can extend a warranty with payment, they can readjust a warranty. The other option is to lose a sale by having the customer return the device, here, to Amazon--and Amazon, this time, will likely return it to them as a defect. Just let technical support know of what the final outcome may be if you are forced to return it--and if they are smart customer service people, they will readjust the warranty period.
