Warranty - warranty liability Explanation: Obviously the 2nd term is adding the concept of "liability". As Armorel says, warranty and guarantee, are practically interchangeable, at least in relation to the sale of goods. My take on this is simply that the writer wanted to use two different words. But I stand to be corrected if I am wrong. |

Guarantee - Warranty Explanation: Take a look at www.lawguarantee.com/consumer-protection-articles/guarantee... Definition of guarantee: "Generally speaking, guarantees are offered by manufacturers of products. They are free of charge but legally binding under the Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002. In UK law, a guarantee is considered to be “an agreement to provide some benefit for a set period of time in the event of the goods or services being defective”." Definition of warranty: "Warranties are similar to guarantees, in that they provide a legally-binding assurance that any problems caused by manufacturing defects during a set period will be remedied. However, unlike guarantees, the customer normally pays for this extra protection." |

Gewährleistungshaftung=(implied) legal warranty Explanation: Gewährleistungshaftung=liability under an IMPLIED WARRANTY (OF FITNESS). Implied warranty of fitness: When goods are ordered for a particular purpose known to the vendor, then there is an implied LEGAL warranty by the vendor that those goods are suitable for that special purpose of the buyer. Guarantees offered by the vendor in addition to the implied legal warranty are optional. They may or may not be offered for a fee. If they are offered for a fee, they are considered an insurance product. |
