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: Insufficient safeguards expose the client to regulatory penalties, data breaches, and reputational damage.
Negotiation strategy
If you're the Customer:
Ensure the clause includes comprehensive confidentiality obligations and aligns with applicable data protection laws. Advocate for specific breach notification timelines and robust security measures.
If you're the Manufacturer:
Negotiate for reasonable efforts in data protection obligations and ensure compliance with relevant regulations. Seek clarity on the scope of confidential information and responsibilities in breach scenarios.
