Legal Question in Product Liability in Virginia

Leasing Company

We purchased a phone system from a company. They had a leasing company they had for their phones. We signed the lease agreement. When the phone was delivered and installed, it did not work as they had claimed. They said that the phone was working properly and I got what I asked for. I contacted the leasing company and they said too bad. It was not their problem. They said read your contract. In small print it said ''Whether product worked or did not work, you are responsible for payment till end of contract''. I called and told them it didn't work properly and they said that wasn't their problem, we still had to pay. You buy a product and expect it to work as displayed to you. Is their a law that covers this type of situation. Thanks for any help...

Re: Leasing Company

Yes, consumer protection laws, warranty laws (federal and state) and others should apply. Also, they can not disclaim fraud. You should consult a consumer law attorney. My email is below if you need further help or a referral.
