Do Phone Warranties Transfer with Sale?

Just was wondering if I onsell a mobile (Samsung S10e) does the warranty transfer with it? What do I need to provide the buyer with for this to happen? Thanks in advance.

  • What do I need to provide the buyer with for this to happen?

    Give the buyer the invoice.

    Gift recipients are entitled to the same rights as consumers who bought the goods directly.

    • Sure, what about if I'd rather not give the buyer all my details? I'm guessing there's no other way of transferring the warranty…

      • You need proof of purchase, so either a receipt/invoice or your bank statement. Lack of warranty is one of the cons but also a reason for secondhand/non-retail cheaper prices.

    Samsung say their warranty is not transferable

      that is incorrect

      This warranty is provided only to you and is not transferable, however, subsequent owners may have statutory rights to a remedy if the Product is faulty. Please keep your proof of purchase documentations, such as the original sales receipt or the relevant credit card statement. Proof of purchase is required to obtain warranty performance.

      • From ACC

        Rights to a repair, replacement, refund, cancellation or compensation do not apply to items:

        bought as a one-off from a private seller, for example at a garage sale or fete (but you do have rights to full title, undisturbed possession and no unknown debts or extra charges)

        So unless it is a gift as mentioned above (which it doesn't seem to be) the right don't include the repair warranty

          bought as a one-off from a private seller

          The buyer isn't claiming a statutory guarantee from OP. The statutory guarantee comes from the supplier which in this case is either the retailer or the manufacturer.

  • If you got it from Telstra, you can provide them with the EPOW

    • No, I got it directly from Samsung… all I have is an invoice with all my details on it. All good, I just wondered if I had to give this to them as well if I did sell or pass this onto someone else.
