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: Ambiguous scope can lead to disputes, unmet expectations, and unexpected costs, undermining the contract’s effectiveness and relationship.
Negotiation strategy
If you're the Customer:
Ensure that the scope of work is clearly defined and includes specific deliverables, timelines, and acceptance criteria. This will help avoid scope creep and ensure that the project stays on track.
If you're the Manufacturer:
Negotiate for flexibility in deliverables and timelines to accommodate potential changes in project scope. Ensure that any changes are documented and agreed upon by both parties.
