Can you sell your warranty rights? For example let's say I've sold you something and later I offer you 150 AU$ to buy back your warranty rights. You decide that is worth way more than the warranty is worth to you and accept. Does this work?
No
> Does this work?
No
What you are referring to is not a warranty, they are statutory rights. [1][2]
* Consumer guarantees are automatic and can't be negotiated away. * Warranties are voluntary and are additional to consumer guarantees.
Here is the required text in Australia for goods:
# Mandatory text for goods and services supplied after 9 June 2019
The mandatory text for the supply of goods and services after 9 June 2019 is:
Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled:
to cancel your service contract with us; and
to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value.
If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion.
You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.
