Warranty clauses?

[TransitTrucker]

Good answers and good points.

Please guys, just read your contract and beware of the warranty clause that may be lurking in there.

Hi,

You slightly miss my point. It would indeed be the cowboy and/or the company. However, if the client wanted to ry it on because there is an warranty it would be at your expense to defend yourself. PI insurance won't help in this respect if the client is coming after you for free work. They only help if they are coming after you for money.

Your first post used warranty clause and defect correction clause interchangeably; that being the case, a wrong requirement given by the client, or a change of policy by the company, does not mean you would or should be liable.

If I buy a washing machine with a UK plug, then decide to ship it abroad, I'd have a hard time claiming a warranty fix because it doesn't have a funny foreign plug.
