Warranty

In business law, a warranty is a promise that something sold is in good condition. A warranty may be express or implied. A breach of warranty occurs when the promise is broken, i.e., a product is defective or not as should be expected by a reasonable buyer. A warranty deed is a promise that the buyer's title to a parcel of land will be defended.

An express warranty is one in which the seller indicates specific qualities of the goods, such as "waterproof" or "hypoallergenic." It is nearly impossible to disclaim an express warranty without creating a contradiction. If the goods fail to perform as advertised or as shown in a sample, it is a breach of express warranty.
