Warranty Service Agreement

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.

Dispute Resolution & Governing Law

Why This Matters: Unclear or unfavorable dispute mechanisms can lead to costly litigation in inconvenient jurisdictions and prolonged conflicts.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Customer:

Ensure the governing law is favorable to your operations and that the dispute resolution process is efficient. Propose arbitration in a neutral location if the jurisdiction is not preferred.

If you're the Manufacturer:

Negotiate for a governing law that is familiar and convenient. Consider the benefits of arbitration to avoid lengthy court proceedings.

Real-world examples

Preferred Clause

"This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Any disputes arising under this Agreement shall be resolved through arbitration in New York City, New York."
NEUTRAL

Fallback Clause

"This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas. Disputes shall be resolved through arbitration in a mutually agreed neutral location."

Alternative scenarios & positions

Texas Law

International Contracts

Evaluate contracts involving parties from different countries. Consider international arbitration rules and ensure the governing law is recognized internationally.

High-Risk Projects

For high-risk projects, ensure the dispute resolution process is robust and the governing law is favorable to mitigate potential legal challenges.
