It's probable that if you bought from an individual, and you have no registered retailer's shop receipt for 'proof of purchase', the manufacturer could claim it to be a second-hand purchase, thus negating any guarantee.
But if you bought from a recognised retailer, they should have included a dated invoice with the item showing their name and address. In this case you'd be OK.
