Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a full and limited warranty?

A full warranty promises that a defective product will be repaired or replaced for free within the warranty period. A limited warranty covers only specific parts or labor, or excludes certain types of damage. Most electrical manufacturers use a limited warranty to protect against misuse or power surges.

Can I exclude coverage for power surges?

Yes, you can explicitly exclude damage caused by power surges, lightning, or improper voltage. These are common risks in electrical equipment, and excluding them is standard practice. Ensure the exclusion is clearly stated in the document.

Is this document legally binding?

Yes, it is a legal contract once accepted by the customer. However, warranty laws vary by state, and you should consult an attorney to ensure compliance with the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and state regulations.
