The present paper deals with the reliability model on a system with conditional warranty and its implications when the valid claim is denied by the system provider and the higher authorities of the system during the warranty period. Such a situation leads to legal implication i.e. user of the system moves to the court of law for decision in his/her favour. At such stage system provider/system user can do out of the court settlement. All these possibilities have been incorporated while developing the model. The analysis has been performed using regenerative point technique. Expressions for various measures of system effectiveness and for the profit have been obtained. Numerical results along with interesting conclusions have been drawn with respect to various parameters to validate the model.
