160.This section replaces regulation 15 of the Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002. These regulations transposed the CSD and regulation 15 implemented Article 6 of the CSD. This section therefore serves to transpose Article 6 again. Under this section, a guarantee provided alongside the goods without extra charge is legally binding. In particular, the guarantee must:
be written in plain, intelligible language and, if the goods are offered in the UK, in English,
include the name and address of the guarantor,
state that the consumer has statutory rights (under this Act) regarding the goods which are not affected by the guarantee,
state the duration and territorial scope of the guarantee,
state the essential details for making claims under the guarantee, and
be made available to the consumer in writing and within a reasonable time.
