Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a full and limited warranty?

A full warranty requires the manufacturer to fix or replace the product within a reasonable time and free of charge. A limited warranty covers only specific defects or parts. In the beverage industry, most warranties are limited because perishable products have natural variations.

How does shelf life affect my warranty?

For beverages and tobacco, shelf life is critical. If a product fails after its 'Best By' date or because it was stored improperly (e.g., heat or humidity), your warranty can exclude that. Our template includes a clause that makes coverage contingent on proper storage and sale before expiration.

Do I need a warranty for B2B sales?

Yes, even in B2B transactions, warranties are implied by law (e.g., implied warranty of merchantability). A written warranty clarifies your specific obligations and limits your risk. For commercial buyers, you can disclaim implied warranties more freely than in consumer sales.
