A Warranty Service Agreement details how defects, repairs, and replacements are handled during a product’s warranty period. This playbook emphasizes negotiating fair remedies, service levels, and liability limitations that align with operational realities.
Why This Matters: Non-compliance can result in fines, contract invalidation, and reputational harm, threatening business continuity.
Negotiation strategy
If you're the Customer:
Ensure the compliance clause explicitly covers all relevant laws, including anti-corruption and trade controls. Reserve the right to audit and terminate for material violations.
If you're the Manufacturer:
Negotiate for reasonable compliance obligations that align with your operational capabilities. Seek clarity on audit processes and termination triggers.

Fallbacks
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, ensure compliance clauses are robust, with detailed audit and termination provisions to mitigate potential legal exposure.
International Agreements
For international agreements, include specific references to international trade controls and sanctions to ensure global compliance.
Small-Scale Contracts
In small-scale contracts, balance compliance obligations with the scale of the project to avoid unnecessary burdens.
