Law (general) / Guarantee
English term or phrase: Difference between /Guarantee/ and /Warranty/
Although in PT we appear to use the same word for both concepts - Garantia - there is a difference between them:

https://www.dictionary.com/e/warranty-or-guarantee/

https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/35788/warranty-v...

Do we have any other option or should we use the same word in PT for both cases?

Thank you!

difference between /guarantee/ and /warranty/
diferença entre / promessa de garantia/ e /garantia


Explanation:
Tratam-se de dois conceitos distintos: a "promessa de garantia" geralmente está relacionada à fase preliminar do contrato, à fase de negociação contratual. Já a "garantia" está relacionada ao momento em que a concretização do negócio torna-se mais factível.

Example sentence(s):
  • "...a União emitirá uma Promessa de Garantia, onde estão fixados os prazos e as condições da cobertura concedida."
