What is a warranty within a contract?

A warranty within a contract is a promise or assurance provided by one party regarding the quality, condition, or performance of a product or service. It serves as a guarantee that certain specifications will be met and can protect the buyer from defects or failures. If the warranty is breached, the affected party may seek remedies such as repair, replacement, or compensation. Warranties can be express (clearly stated) or implied (inferred from circumstances or conduct).
