Standard warranty

A standard warranty clause in a contract typically ensures that the seller guarantees the product or service will be free from defects and will perform as described for a specified period. It often outlines the buyer's rights to repair, replacement, or refund if the warranty is breached within the defined timeframe.

    The standard warranty does not provide the customer with a service in addition to providing assurance that the software license is functioning based on agreed upon specifications. We assessed whether the software license and the standard warranty are distinct in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-19 and concluded that the software license and the standard warranty do not meet the criterion in 606-10-25-19(a). The Company does not sell the software license and standard warranty on a standalone basis, which indicates that the customer cannot benefit from the software license and standard warranty on its own.

What is a Standard Warranty?

A Standard Warranty is a written guarantee provided by a manufacturer or seller that assures the buyer that a product will meet certain quality and performance standards for a specified period. If the product fails to meet these standards within the warranty period, the manufacturer or seller is usually obligated to repair, replace, or otherwise rectify the issue.

Warranties are an important aspect of consumer protection, providing confidence to consumers when purchasing products. They serve as a promise of quality and durability, potentially influencing buyers’ decisions.

When should I use a Standard Warranty?

Use a Standard Warranty when:

  • Selling or manufacturing products: If you’re a manufacturer or retailer, offering a warranty can demonstrate your confidence in the product’s quality, thereby enhancing your customer’s trust and satisfaction.
  • Dealing with durable goods: Products expected to have an extended lifespan, such as electronics, appliances, or vehicles, typically benefit from offering a warranty to assure customers of their reliability.
  • Establishing market competitiveness: In markets where most competitors offer warranties, providing similarly structured warranties can level your competitive playing field.
  • Complying with legal requirements: Some jurisdictions mandate minimum warranty periods for specific product categories. Ensure compliance by offering a standard warranty.

How do I write a Standard Warranty?

To write an effective Standard Warranty, consider including the following key elements:

  1. Title: Clearly state that the document is a warranty.
  2. Coverage: Define what parts or aspects of the product are covered and the duration of the warranty period.
  3. Exclusions and limitations: Specify what is not covered by the warranty, such as misuse or unauthorized modifications.
  4. Terms and conditions: Outline the terms under which the warranty is valid, including required maintenance or usage guidelines.
  5. Claims process: Provide clear instructions on how customers can make a warranty claim, including contact information and documentation required.
  6. Legal rights: Include a statement on how the warranty affects the consumer’s statutory rights.

Example:

Standard Warranty Statement

This product is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of original purchase. This warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, accident, or unauthorized modifications. To initiate a warranty claim, please contact our customer service department at [email address] with your proof of purchase.

Which contracts typically contain a Standard Warranty?

Standard Warranties are commonly found in contracts for:

  • Purchase and Sale Agreements: Particularly for consumer goods such as electronics, vehicles, and appliances.
  • Service Agreements: When the service includes deliverables, such as software installation or equipment servicing.
  • Lease Agreements: Especially for leased equipment, ensuring lessee satisfaction and trust in the equipment’s reliability.
  • Construction Contracts: Providing assurances for the workmanship and materials used in construction projects.
