Plain-language definition
Plain-language definition
A promise about a product or service and the remedy if that promise is not met.
Why it matters
Warranty details matter more than a badge because coverage, labor, shipping, and claim procedures vary.
Technical detail
A warranty states covered defects or performance, duration, exclusions, claimant requirements, and available remedies; written and implied warranties can differ.
Examples
- A replacement battery includes a one-year written warranty against manufacturing defects.
