What you should know about warranties Hie War- Magnuson-Mos- s ranty Act (jpassed by Congress) requires that all appliances costing more than $15.00 must have written warranties available for you to see BEFORE you buy. A warranty (or guarantee) is a promise by the er or the seller to stand behind their products. It is' also a plain language written contract, which spells out the specific manufacturer promises for the product being sold. It is the intention of Congress to provide truth in , warranty. There are three types of warranties: FULL WARRANTY: This is the best waranty a product can have. It means exactly what it says. A defective product is assured of complete repairs cost-freThe warranted must be repaired within a reasonable time. And if continued attempts to repair the product is not successful, the buyer can elect to have a refund or replacement without charge. This warranty is often' referred to as the provision. The implied warranty cannot be denied or li e. "anti-lemo- n" mited. It remains with the product at all times. Howso does goes the warranty, or all warranties for that matter. LIMITED WARRANTY: a toaster must toast, a Check your warranty carefully; Does it include remedies for consequential damages should your refriger- re-clin- er ator-freezer must recline. If it certain CB can provide scan- ner information and war- rants that the CB will do so. "Implied warranties are rights created by law. They do not have to be written and automatically come with bilities: Keep your sales slip with your warranty. The each sale. . When you buy an appliance or automobile, very often-yoare offered a service contract, sometimes referred to as ah extended warranty. Do not let yourself become confused. Warranties come free with product. Extended warranties, or service congracts, unless for some reason the manufacturer has offered to ex- date of purchase is important. Maintain the product as u the Implied warranty cannot extend beyond the time period stated in the warranty duration. . tend the promise due to some problems while under the original warranty, are sold. Be prepared! Read the written warranty, consider the implied waranty and see whether or not you really need additional protection. Read the "service contract or "extended warranty" and see if it offers you anything breakdown and there is food spoilage? Whatever the product under warranty, whether it be a car, appliance, battery, etc., check to see how damages are addressed. The warranty, whether full or limited, may not cover consequential damages; however, if you are physically injured due to a defective product this falls in another category. See an attorney. Get to know your responsi- doesn't, you are entitled to get your money back. 2) Fitness for a particular purpose - This means that the product will be fit for ordinary use and will perform as per the seller's advice. For example, a seller advises that a ted' warranty, the written promises given must be kept In a "limited warranty, This warranty protects the consumer against major hid . your "free warranty meets your needs. purposes for which the product is to be used.
