Implied warranty definition

An implied warranty, in common law jurisdictions, is a legal term that holds that a product is fit for use or consumption even if the vendor or manufacturer has not made a written guarantee. Most products sold have two implied warranties: one that it is merchantable, meaning it is ready to be sold, and the other is that it is in a condition that is ready for customer use.

Clearly written warranty documents (express warranty) are the best defense against customer confusion and dissatisfaction that could result in legal action by a user. Always consult with an attorney who is knowledgeable in warranty law before offering any warranty to customers.
