This lesson is a guide published by FTC.
Read the guideWhat you'll get
The FTC's manual explains the federal warranty law: a written warranty on a consumer product costing more than $10 must be titled full or limited, one on a product costing more than $15 must state its terms and be available to read before sale, and you can't disclaim implied warranties if you give a written one. It dates from 2006 with a section updated in 2018 and is meant for use with your attorney, so read it before you print a warranty card.
Do this week
If you plan to offer a written warranty, write it in two sentences and check it against the guide's three requirements: title it full or limited, state its terms, and make it available before sale.
