‡ CROSS-BORDER SALES

PowaKaddy has an exclusive distributor that looks after the sales they have made in each of their franchised countries. This means that Warranties on products sold in one country are not transferable to another country because such contracts follow business‑to‑business transactions.

Retailers, especially online retailers, are therefore expected to make it clear that “out-of-country” sales only carry a “back-to-retailer” warranty. So, for example, a product purchased from the UK and shipped to Spain will not be repaired under warranty in Spain.  It will have to be shipped back to the UK before being considered for warranty repair in the UK. PowaKaddy will not pay for this shipping because it is a breach of contract with their distributor.  So consumers and sellers need to bear this in mind.

International regulations governing the transportation of lithium batteries mean that lithium batteries can only be handled by specialist carriers.  Furthermore, these regulations also preclude these carriers from transporting potentially “faulty” or “failed” lithium batteries.  Owners of companies in breach of these regulations are personally liable for breaches, as Amazon has recently found.  This effectively means that buying a lithium battery from another country completely defeats the offered warranty in the other country because it cannot be invoked.

The PowaKaddy website will therefore not allow registration of out-of-country warranty purchases.

Buyers and sellers, please be aware.

Further information in respect of these statutory rights can be obtained from your local Trading Standards Department or Citizen’s Advice Bureau.
