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: Rigid or unclear termination clauses can trap the client in suboptimal arrangements and hinder operational agility.
Negotiation strategy
If you're the Customer:
Negotiate for flexible termination rights, including termination for convenience with reasonable notice periods. Ensure transition obligations are clearly defined to minimize disruption.
If you're the Manufacturer:
Aim to secure longer notice periods and potential termination fees to mitigate sudden contract terminations. Ensure compliance with jurisdiction-specific requirements.
