What is an Express Warranty?

• A. Written down and specific affirmation of performance description
• B. Implied promise
• C. A price guarantee
• D. A general statement of quality

Answer: (A)

An Express Warranty is a definite, explicit promise about how a product will perform or what it will do, stated by the seller in writing (and often tied to the sale) as a description of performance or conformity to a description or sample. This makes it a contractual assurance that the goods will meet those stated standards. The option that describes it as a written down and specific affirmation fits this definition best. Implied warranties arise from the nature of the transaction and law, not from a stated promise. A price guarantee concerns cost, not the product's performance. A general statement of quality is too vague to count as a warranty.
