No, this is called warranty and is for defective products.

From a customer's point of view it's better to know what you buy and have clear knowledge of the kind of company you're supporting with your money! From my point of view (and from the point of view of my job) customers are fundamental and their respect is the most important thing. Fooling them is always counterproductive.

Not if you design your software well....or if you're a honest company
