I'll bet there's even a clause to that effect buried somewhere in your policy.
Not a purely commercial use in my case....a large part of why I buy them is get acclimated to different MB's and learn how to work on them; I honestly enjoy them, however brief the period of ownership. Thanks for the heads up, though.
