A full warranty means:
- The warrantor will fix or replace any defective product, including removal and reinstallation if necessary, free of charge.
- It is not limited in time (say, to one or two years).
- It does not either exclude or limit payment for consequential damages unless the exclusion or limitation is printed conspicuously on the face of the written warranty.
- If the product cannot be repaired or has not been repaired after a reasonable number of efforts to repair it, the consumer may choose between a refund and a replacement.
- The warrantor cannot impose duties on the consumer except reasonable duties (the warranty cannot require the consumer to ship a piano to the factory) or a duty not to modify the product.
- The warrantor is not required to fulfill the warranty terms if the problem was caused by damage to the product through unreasonable use.
A full warranty does not have to cover the whole product. It may cover only part of the product, such as the picture tube of a television set. Also, anyone who owns the product during the warranty period may invoke or use the warranty.
