Selling MOD's and responsability

[Batdragon (AKA Batty)]

I am going to be putting my MOD's together soon and there is a possibility that I will be selling them on here. So I have a question. If I make a MOD and sell it, am I responsible for that mod? as in if something happens to it and the person is hurt, is the come back on me? or is it like selling something at a car boot where it is the buyers responsibility as soon as they purchase it?

I am putting as many safety devices into my mods as is reasonably possible but there is always a chance that something could happen.

Your thoughts, comments and experiances please.

I would say buyers responsibility.

Hmm well as a vendor you should have public liability insurance for such eventuallities (otherwise if things go bad you`ll be liable for all costs).

Im not sure about 1 offs or ebay style selling but this may help a bit:

Think if you bought something like a battery from a supplier who doesnt have insurance & it injured you you could sue the pants off the and they`d have no protection on their assets at all.

Sorry if Im rambling a bit I think electrical stuff is supposed to meet certain standards CE or BS.

It is all open to congecture isnt it mmmmm

[kingofswords]

would of thought you'd be responsible tbh stuff from carboots are 'sold as seen' which i presume is governed by a different law.
but if i brought a telly from currys and it blew up its their responablity
but then if a mod were to blow up it could be down to the buyers misuse.

I'll take my chances......what have you got

That is what I mean, as they will all be one offs, and I would not be a supplier I would just be selling something that I had made.

Batty I havent seen any of the other mod makers offering insurance but you could ask Mark (warlord) he would tell you Im with frosty im dying to see what you have made

At the moment I am awiting the end caps for my BC mod. Which is like a funked up LT mixed with a GG. I also have a F$"ked Ego battery that I just dropped and it fried the circuit board

Taken from personal injury site:

'If you have bought a product that was faulty and you have been injured in some way though no fault of your own, then you have a very good chance of making a successful claim for personal injury compensation.
If you would like to speak to someone with experience in the area of personal injury compensation, related to faulty products and faulty goods compensation, contact the Personal Injury Bureau.

Types of Faulty Goods and Products Leading To Injury Claims

When you buy a product you expect it to be of a minimum standard of quality. You certainly do not expect it to be faulty. You certainly do not expect it to harm you in some way.
When you buy goods, including goods supplied as part of a service, the law gives you certain rights as a consumer. The law says that those goods must be of a satisfactory quality, be fit for the purpose they are sold for, and they should match the description of those products on the packaging.'

I`d say banging out a few mods of good quality is fine tbh as long as you are aware

[dognero]

I suppose it's just like buying anything on here, new or used you take your chance.
Just the same as Fleebay.

Hmm. Difficult one with a lot of grey areas I should imagine. Warlord (Mark) should know, you could send him a PM.
