A guarantee is an agreement given by a trader to a consumer, without any extra charge, to repair, replace or refund on goods which do not meet the specifications set out in the guarantee. A warranty is an insurance policy which provides cover for the unexpected failure or breakdown of goods, usually after the manufacturer's or trader's guarantee has run out.

Both the guarantee and the warranty are used to safeguard the rights of a consumer. The difference while in a guarantee a seller is reliable for replacement of a purchased item for free , in a warranty the consumer pays for the rights and has the rights to sue the seller. A guarantee is provided by manufactures but a warranty is proved by sellers and distributors.

There are no fixed definitions and clear cut differences between warranty and guarantee. It has been rightly said by Aftab that both terms are overlapping and intermixing. However, I would prefer to you Guantee in terms of assurances to remove the defect or provide replacements etc.  The warranty, on the other hand also entails reimbursement of monetary claims arising out of assuarances which are in the form of guarantees. The warranty is supported by a legal contract between the parties whereas for guarantees, no such contracts are necessary.

Guarantee refers to the performance postsale . It means that the manufacturer stands behind the product like a guarantor to a loan. It is a formal promise, like a contract, that if the performance is below par, the goods will be repaired or replaced or the money refunded.

Warranty relates to the sale of goods and will say that it is of a particular standard. A warranty is a promise that refers to more tangible things, like parts of the product or machine.

It is mainly applicable for DOA  ( Dead on Arrival Status ) or OOB ( Out of Box - Plug in failure )  to be En cashed  by product swap or  Total Equipment replacement.within Given Time Period declared on the face of the POS receipt 

 

Warranty  is for a longer period depending on the Product Liability extended by the manufacturer of the device  usually related to only free provision of Technical Parts / Service, within a Given Time Period in case of Failure.. During the period of warranty products are subject to RMA ( Return material Authorization ) from the point of sale to validate the period of warranty and the defect liability period as is defined by the manufacturer or OEM ( Original Equipment Manufacturer ) subject to geographical limits on which the product warranty is extended .
