What is the difference between a local and global warranty?

What is the difference between a "guarantee" and a "warranty" from a legal standpoint?

  • From a legal standpoint, what is the difference between a "guarantee" and a "warranty" for an item being offered for sell online within the USA? In practice, what does it mean for the customer? and for the seller?

  • Answer:

    Good question so I decided to check up on it. Definitively they are pretty much the same but in actual application there are differences. Guarantees are generally given from the manufacturer or originator of a product or service. A warranty generally from the retailer or end seller of the product or service. Guarantees are always free, warrantees are sometimes free and someones paid for. Guarantees generally have the condition of a refund of some sort, Warranties generally have the condition of repairing or replacing the product.
