A performance warranty clause is a contractual provision where the seller or service provider guarantees that their goods, services, or work will meet specified performance standards or criteria. If these standards are not met, the clause typically outlines the remedies or corrective actions that the buyer can pursue.
Limited Software Performance Warranty. Licensor warrants that throughout the applicable License Term, the Software will function in all materials respects in accordance with the documentation listed on Exhibit 2 as the same may be revised and delivered to Customer from time to time (the “Customer Documentation”).
Performance Warranty Remedy. Customer shall notify Licensor in writing of any claim that the Software is not functioning in accordance with the Customer Documentation (the “Warranty Notice”).

If Customer exercises its termination option, it shall have the right to continue to use the Software under the terms of this Agreement for a transition period of up to 180 days, subject to Customer’s continued compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and each Order From.
Performance Warranty Limitations. The performance warranty shall not apply: (a) to any modifications of the Software made other than by Licensor or its agent or contractor; (b) if the Software is not used in accordance with the Customer Documentation or this Agreement; (c) if the Software has been modified, enhanced or altered by anyone other than Licensor or its agent or contractor; or (d) to any error or defect caused by the improper use of the Software by Customer or any third party, or any third-party software.

Performance Warranty. (i)During the Warranty Period, Seller shall determine within ten (10) Business Days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, whether the Portfolio has delivered to the applicable Interconnection Points the Minimum kWh for purposes of the Performance Warranty (as set forth in the definition of “Minimum kWh”) during such Calendar Quarter (“Performance Warranty”). (ii)If such calculation indicates that the Actual kWh delivered by the Portfolio was greater than the Minimum kWh during such Calendar Quarter, then the difference (in kWh) between Actual kWh less Minimum kWh shall be recorded as a positive balance in the Performance Warranty Bank.
(iii)If such calculation indicates that the Actual kWh delivered by the Portfolio was less than the Minimum kWh during such Calendar Quarter, then the difference (in kWh) between Minimum kWh less Actual kWh shall be recorded as a negative balance in the Performance Warranty Bank. (iv)Seller shall report the balance of the Performance Warranty Bank to Buyer with its delivery of the Quarterly Report. At any time the Performance Warranty Bank has a negative balance, Buyer may make a claim under Section 5.7. If Seller fails to perform any Performance Warranty calculation within the periods required by this Section 5.4, Buyer may perform its own calculations and notify Seller of the results of such calculation and, if applicable, make a claim pursuant to Section 5.7.

We typically provide a system output performance warranty, separate from our standard solar panel product warranty, to our solar services customers. In connection with system output performance warranties, we agree to pay liquidated damages in the event the system does not perform to the stated specifications, with certain exclusions. The warranty excludes system output shortfalls attributable to force majeure events, customer curtailment, irregular weather, and other similar factors. In the event that the system output falls below the warrantied performance level during the applicable warranty period and provided that the shortfall is not caused by a factor that is excluded from the performance warranty, the warranty provides that we will pay the customer an amount based on the value of the shortfall of energy produced relative to the applicable warrantied performance level. Such liquidated damages represent a form of variable consideration and are estimated at contract inception and updated at each reporting period and recognized over time as customers receive and consume the benefits of the solar services.
A performance warranty is a contractual assurance provided by the seller or manufacturer that a product will perform to a specified level or standard for a certain period. This warranty ensures that the buyer is protected against defects or failures in the product’s performance and can seek remedies if the product does not meet the promised standards. Performance warranties can cover various aspects, such as functionality, efficiency, and durability.
When Should I Use a Performance Warranty?
You should use a performance warranty in situations where the functionality and performance of a product or service are critical to the buyer. This is especially important in the following cases:
Complex Machinery and Equipment: When purchasing complex machinery or equipment, such as industrial machines or HVAC systems, a performance warranty can ensure the product operates as expected.
Construction Projects: Contractors and builders may offer performance warranties to guarantee that the structure will meet specified building standards.
Software and Technology Products: Tech companies may provide performance warranties to assure clients that their software or hardware will operate as promised.
Renewable Energy Systems: Suppliers of solar panels or wind turbines may offer performance warranties to ensure energy output levels.
How Do I Write a Performance Warranty?
Writing a performance warranty involves clearly specifying the criteria and terms under which the warranty applies. Here are steps you can follow:
Define the Scope: Clearly outline what is covered under the warranty, such as specific components or aspects of performance.
Set Performance Standards: Specify the performance metrics or standards the product must meet.
Determine the Duration: State the length of time the warranty is valid.
Outline the Remedies: Describe what the buyer is entitled to if the product fails to perform, such as repairs, replacements, or refunds.
Inclusion of Exclusions: Clearly state any conditions or factors that void the warranty.
Example: “The warranty covers all manufacturing defects and ensures the equipment will operate at 95% efficiency for five years. Should the equipment fail to meet this standard, the seller agrees to repair or replace it at no cost to the buyer.”
Which Contracts Typically Contain a Performance Warranty?
Performance warranties are commonly found in the following types of contracts:
Purchase Agreements: Contracts for the sale of goods often include performance warranties to guarantee product standards.
Construction Contracts: Agreements with contractors for building projects frequently incorporate performance warranties related to structure integrity and system functionality.
Service Level Agreements (SLAs): These contracts, often in technology and telecom sectors, may include performance warranties to specify uptime and response times.
