Is uh oh protection transferable to a new owner?

[anon(9708869)]

If I buy an HTC 10 on Swappa, will the Uh Oh protection come with it?

No, warranties rarely are. I'd look into Square Trade or similar when buying used.

Well... let me tell you my experience... I have a priv, which I bought used in swappa... was in mint condition and 3 months old... when I received it, the phone was in mint condition as described; however, I heard a distortion in the speaker when put at high volume... out of curiosity decided to call BlackBerry support, long story short, they exchanged the phone for a refurbished one in mint condition as well (and I assume the phone was a refurbished unit, because to be honest looked brand new)... so, at least the factory warranty should be transferable to the new user... before buying call htc and get the answer straight from the horse's mouth, you never know...

I bought an htc a9 on swappa. I contacted htc chat they said all I needed was the imei number and order number from the original owner. Now they never asked for my address, so not sure where the replacement phone would go tho....

Here's a paste from the "terms and conditions,"

This UH OH Protection Addendum to Limited Warranty is given only to You, and may not be sold, assigned, transferred, or given in full or in part to any subsequent purchaser or acquirer of the Product or any other person.

Warranty is only for the original owner,officially. They might provide it for subsequent owners but, they are not legally required to, and they can choose to deny warranty for the second owner at any time

Is this the manufacturer warranty?

Yes the manufacturer's warranty.

Wow, that's bs. I wonder if it's legal because, as long as the warranty is valid, the manufacturer has to abide by it. And it's tied to the device itself.

I'm pretty sure they're the only ones who do that.

Where did you get that?? That warranty is standard with consumer electronics. Warranties are typically tied to the original owner, when purchased from an authorized dealer. I've read this dozens of times on warranties from many manufacturers. Those that transfer warranties are the exception. It's not like HTC is doing something unusual or illegal.

That's pretty standard terms across the board for most consumer products, the warranty being only good for the original owner.

Some companies are more lenient in practice, but they can follow their written terms at any time, and you wouldn't have a leg to stand on
