Take it back to them and get them to do these things --> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Unless you have the account information that set the lock, or the original receipt from apple, you cannot remove the lock. Read this article to learn how to remove Activation Lock either on the device itself or on the web --> How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support

or this one for disabling Find My if activation lock has not yet engaged --> Turn off Find My on your iPhone or other devices - Apple Support
