Contractual Disputes And Warranty Claims
There are two basic types of warranties; express and implied.
An express warranty is a promise expressly made by the seller in a contract. They are usually in writing and specifically incorporated into sale contracts. Express warranties can also be made orally for instance showing a customer the latest television and making certain verbal representations about its features or particular uses for it would be an express warranty as you are assuring the customer that the TV being sold has certain key features.
An implied warranty on the other hand arises from the understanding of the buyer and the nature of the transaction itself. Nothing needs to be specially mentioned in writing or orally for an implied warranty to arise; for example if the seller knew the purpose for which the buyer was purchasing an item, the buyer would assume that the item would be fit for that specific purpose.
Whether you are an individual, entrepreneur, company or partnership, going through a disagreement of this type can be complex and time consuming. This is why it is important you are able to speak to legal experts who can provide all the guidance you need to emerge from a dispute with the result you are after.
A warranty is breached when a statement or set of facts is untrue. Under such circumstances the only remedy available to the innocent party is monetary damages.
Claiming damages is the most common remedy for breach of contract. However, as a warranty is a term of the contract, normal breach of contract considerations will apply. Consequently, a breach of a warranty will only give rise to damages if the buyer can demonstrate that there was a breach which resulted in a loss and that they mitigated their loss or that the loss was not too remote i.e unforeseen by the parties.
