Specifically using the word "licence" to refer to the manufacturer's
warranty was not Correct[tm]. I should have said contract.

Either way the point is that it has terms&conditions and that they are
available to you before you use the device. As an example, here is a
quote from Lenovo's pre-2007 warranty:

"This warranty does not cover the following:
     any software programs, whether pre-loaded or shipped with the
Machine, or installed subsequently;
     failure resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable
physical or operating environment, or improper maintenance by you;"

Cheers,
