i would like to know that when corsair sends any product for review to "A" can that person sale it to another person B ?

If yes, then how B will claim RMA as the reviewer has no bill against the product?

For example :
Date of Import for a corsair product is Apr,2019. This Product has been sent to A (reviewer) approx 4 months back from today i.e. 19-06-2020 without generating any bill for it as it is a sample product.So the reviewer got it in the month of Feb Or March 2020.
Now, this has been sold to another person "B" on 16-06-2020.
The reviewer claims that he has got it 4 months before and hence the warranty still persists. How can B claim the warranty to Kaizen without any bill? Will the SERIAL NO suffice?

Warranty is on things that are sold so I don't see how one can claim warranty on a product which was never sold in the first place.

Then the reviewer is not supposed to sale it at all.
Most review units are supposed to be returned to the brand and not to be sold unless there's an NOC or something issued by the brand.
@Anorion should be able to shed some light on this maybe.
