German term

mit der entsprechend unterlegten Garantie

German to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) business letter
Bitte seien Sie versichert, dass die qualitativ hochwertigen [Markenname] Instrumente mit der entsprechend unterlegten [Markenname] Garantie an Sie geliefert werden.

What does "unterlegt" mean here? Does it add anything to the meaning? Is "mit der entsprechend unterlegten Garantie" different from "mit der entsprechenden Garantie"? Could "unterlegt" means something like "documented" here?

I see that you have 'qualitativ' earlier in the sentence, so you might wish to replace 'guarantee of quality' with 'guarantee of satisfaction'.

See the opening phrase: "Bitte seien Sie versichert, dass ..." There is no reason why the manufacturer or retailer would need to reassure the customer that a printed guarantee had been enclosed.

Peer comment(s):

agree Gerhard Wiesinger : implicit would be my choice as well, or even a more literal "the respective underlying warranty" (underlying in the sense of zu Grunde liegend)

Yes, like 'underlying' even better
