Are you saying any warranty is transferrable? Most new things have one.

Yes, you're just a reseller of the product like say your family-owned corner
shop would be. They buy things from their supplier and resell them. They
don't become secondhand by doing so. The manufacturer's warranty applies
however you bought the product, as long as it was new when doing so (you can
check the T&C with them).


Warranties are separate from statutory rights and manufacturers can
decide whether or not to make them transferable. Many large
manufacturers don't. Which is not to say they won't honour a claim in
practice, especially if you have the original receipt.

The analogy with a corner shop re-selling is false as they are a buying
as a business, not a consumer.
