I mean seriously, in this day and age, an Act of God could void your warranty? Is God really going to damage your microwave???

It's ridiculous because,as god does not exist,you cannot have an act of god.
It's a scam made up by the insurance companies as another way of not paying out

An "act of God" is understood to be the forces of nature, over which no manufacturer of finished goods has any control, and therefore should be exempt from having to repair or replace or refund something that they've produced which has been affected by such.
Why should a producer have to step in and deal with damage to something that's otherwise covered by a warranty, that has been rained upon, flooded, struck by lightning, crushed in an earthquake, melted by lava, etc?
Stuff that falls apart due to shoddy workmanship? Even manufacturers know that that's the kind of eventuality that should be covered by warranty. Things that neither they, nor anyone else has any control over? Why should that be covered?

Acts of G-d are referring to natural diasters or any unreasonable events.
It put there for the protection of the manufacture because of the stupid things people do to their products.
Look up your life insurance policy. It is void in case of nuclear war.
So get a grip.
People will be believing in G-d long after you are long gone and forgotten about.

"Act of God" is just a euphemism for natural phenomenon beyond the company's control, like a flood or a lightning strike or something like that. It doesn't imply any faith system, it's a legal term. Relax.

No, what is ridiculous is the things that sleazy unscrupulous lawyers and their clients will sue manufacturers for that makes
them put such a disclaimer on their warranty...

Dude, totally! One time I made change in the collection plate, needed a quarter for the bus, and God shows up at my door the next day with a baseball bat and goes medieval on my stereo!! Apparently God needs his quarters for skeeball on the weekends...
Anyway, Panasonic wouldn't take it back. It was lame.
