\Varranties
A warranty is the guarantee of a manufacturer or

product.
Varranties must be easy to read and to
. tand. They must be written in ordinary
age, not in confusing legal terms. Every term
d condition of the warranty must be spelled out
fating. K n condition is left out of the
tract it is not considered part of the warranty.
Vine pri"* contract is not permissable
bfcause it is difficult to read.
It is important to beware of spoken explanations
or promises regarding a warranty on a product.
Vfords of the salesperson will not be proveable or
enforceable when repairs on the product are
eeded. Rely only on what is written in the
warranty.
If the warranty says “you buy this product as Is”
the seller is not responsible and the buyer must pay
for repairs.
Xhere are two types of warranties - Express and
Implied. Express warranties are written promises

and the law
in the contract. Implied warranties are rights
created by state law to insure that products are fit
for the particular purpose for which they are sold.
An express warranty can be full or limited. A full
warranty means that a defective product will be
repaired or replaced free if necessary. The repairs
will be made within a reasonable length of time
after a complaint is made by the buyer. The
warranty is good for anyone who owns the product
during the warranty period. If the product can’t
be fixed after a reasonable number of tries, a new
pnxiuct will be made available or the money
originally paid for the product will be returned to
the buyer. A full warranty gives the most
protection to the buyer.
A full warranty, however, does not have to cover
the entire product. It may cover only part of the
product, like the picture on a television, or it may
exclude certain parts like the tires on a car.
certain to check the warranty to see what jwfts of
the purchased product are covered.
A limited warranty means “be careful -
something is missing.” Limited avarranties, for
example, may cover only the price of parts but not
the cost of labor, or may offer a smaller refund than
the full original price, or may charge the buyer fees
for handling and postage.
Normally all warranty rights include the right to
“consequential damages.” This means the
manufacturer must not only fix the product that
needs repairs, but must also pay for any damage
the product caused. For example, if a buyer’s
beezer breaks down and the food in it spoils, the
company must pay the buyer for the food that’s
ost.
For further information about warranties and
your rights under warranties, contact a lawyer.
