In its services and repair terms and conditions, Google says it will keep devices sent in for repair if they have a non-OEM part.
Update:
Google changes repair policy after criticism of third-party parts ban Google previously said it would not return mailed-in devices using “unauthorized” parts.
This must be nonsense. No huge company with competent legal experts are going to allow a policy of blatant personal property theft.
They’re evil but they’re not stupid.
