WHAT DOES WARRANTY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

warranty

Warranty

In contract law, a warranty has various meanings but generally means a guarantee or promise which provides assurance by one party to the other party that specific facts or conditions are true or will happen. This factual guarantee may be enforced regardless of materiality which allows for a legal remedy if that promise is not true or followed. Although a warranty is in its simplest form an element of a contract, some warranties run with a product so that a manufacturer makes the warranty to a consumer with which the manufacturer has no direct contractual relationship. A warranty may be express or implied, depending on whether the warranty is explicitly provided and the jurisdiction. Warranties may also state that a particular fact is true at one point in time or that the fact will be continue into the future.

Definition of warranty in the English dictionary

The first definition of warranty in the dictionary is a covenant, express or implied, by which the vendor of real property vouches for the security of the title conveyed. Other definition of warranty is an express or implied term in a contract, such as an undertaking that goods contracted to be sold shall meet specified requirements as to quality, etc. Warranty is also an undertaking by the party insured that the facts given regarding the risk are as stated.
