Warranty Clauses
What this document covers
The Warranty Clauses form is a legal document used to outline the terms regarding the warrantyâor lack thereofâassociated with the transfer of assets. This form specifies the conditions under which assets are assigned and clarifies whether any warranties are provided. Unlike other types of asset transfer forms, the Warranty Clauses include specific disclaimers regarding warranties to protect the assignor from future claims. It is essential for individuals or entities looking to complete transactions involving assets while limiting their liability.
Form components explained
- No warranty clause which disclaims any guarantees regarding title or condition of the assets.
- Provisions for the assignment of assets to the assignee, its successors, and assigns.
- Clauses specifying the terms of the assignment and the responsibilities of the assignor.
- Disclaimers regarding implied warranties, including those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
- Limited warranty clause for specified properties to confirm their condition and absence of liens.
When to use this document
This form should be used when transferring assets where the assignor wants to ensure there are no implied warranties made about the condition or ownership of the assets being sold. It is particularly useful in real estate transactions, equipment sales, or any transfer of property where the assignor is unwilling to take on liabilities associated with the assets post-transfer. Use this form if you want to clarify the terms of the assignment to avoid future disputes about the condition or ownership of the assigned assets.

FAQ
A warranty is a type of guarantee that a manufacturer or similar party makes regarding the condition of its product. It also refers to the terms and situations in which repairs or exchanges will be made in the event that the product does not function as originally described or intended.
A representation is basically an assertion of a past or existing fact, true on the date that it is made. It is generally given to induce another party to enter into a contract. A warranty on the other hand, is similar to a representation but it refers to the present or future i.e. a present or future promise of a fact.
For example, when you buy a new car from a car dealer, the warranty states that the car works. If the car doesn't work, the warranty gives the owner the right to have the dealer fix the car under certain conditions (length of time, cause of damage, etc.). These conditions are typically spelled out in the warranty.
