Implied warranties may exist in different types of agreements. For instance, in a lease contract there may be an implied warranty, that for the term of the lease, no person hold a claim to or interest in the goods that arose from an act or omission of the lessor, other than a claim by way of infringement, which may interfere with the lessee's enjoyment of his or her leasehold interest. However, a lessee who gives specifications to a lessor must hold the lessor harmless against any claim by way of infringement or the like that arises out of compliance with the specifications.
Additionally, under the Magnuson-Moss Act, some warranties are designated as "full warranties," and other warranties may be designated as "limited." The Act requires warranties designated as "full warranties" to include a statement of duration. A limited warranty may also include a statement of duration. However, for a warranty to meet the federal standards, and qualify as a full warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Act, the warrantor may not impose any limitation on the duration of any implied warranty on the product. Under a full warranty, in case of a defect, malfunction, or failure to conform with the written warranty, the warrantor:
-
Must, as a minimum, remedy the consumer product within a reasonable time and without charge;
May not impose any limitation on the duration of any implied warranty on the product;
May not exclude or limit consequential damages for a breach of any written or implied warranty on the product, unless the exclusion or limitation conspicuously appears on the face of the warranty; and
if the product, or a component part, contains a defect or malfunction, the warrantor must allow the consumer to elect either a refund or replacement without charge, after a reasonable number of repair attempts.A cause of action for breach of an implied warranty may have many complex issues.
