Today, the demand for used mobile phones in the modern market is quite high. Despite the fact that the prices for mobile phones are low, such a purchase will not be considered insignificant. However, many buyers do not take into account the need to correctly formalize the purchase of this product. This may cause your purchase to be unsuccessful. This article will tell you what important details you should pay attention to and how to correctly formalize a contract for the sale of a used phone.
How to make a purchase correctly and how important is it
When buying a used mobile phone without proper registration, the buyer will be responsible for the functionality of the purchased phone. In the absence of the necessary documents, returning the mobile phone or replacing it with a corresponding model in case of breakage, defect or other problems will be impossible, despite the fact that the rights of buyers are protected at the legislative level.
To legally execute a purchase, you must require the seller to provide the relevant documents. First of all, the seller must provide you with a sales receipt, which indicates the amount, date and time of purchase. This receipt will serve as proof of full payment for the goods. It is also necessary to conclude a contract of sale of a used telephone, which confirms the fact of your purchase from this seller. This contract will be the main document if the dispute goes to court. In addition, having a signed contract can help you resolve the dispute, avoiding litigation.
In case of malfunction of the purchased used phone or manufacturing defect, it is necessary to contact the seller. In most cases, the presence of the contract or receipt is sufficient to solve this problem. However, if you encounter an incompetent seller who cannot help you, demand a meeting with the manager or the head of the store.
Correct drafting of the contract
When concluding a contract, first of all, check how correctly it is drawn up. At a minimum, the contract must provide for a warranty period for the purchased phone. It is also worth paying attention to the correctness of filling in the details of the parties. If the seller is a legal entity, be sure to check whether the signature of the authorized representative is certified by the original seal of the company. Also, all information about the used phone being purchased must be completely accurate. Such information must contain:
- name of the product and name of the manufacturer;
- mobile phone model;
- unique identification number (imei)
- The presence or absence of external defects
- Possible malfunctions
It is necessary to make sure that the fourteen-digit phone code is correctly indicated in the contract. It is worth considering that consumer rights are protected by the relevant law. In this regard, if the contract does not contain a procedure for returning or exchanging the purchased phone, this does not mean that you will not be able to return or exchange it.
