§2308 Implied Warranties
Title 15 › CHAPTER 50 — CONSUMER PRODUCT WARRANTIES › § 2308
Summary
Sellers must not deny or change any implied warranty on a consumer product if they give a written warranty or enter into a service contract for that product at sale or within 90 days after sale. Except for section 2304(a)(2), implied warranties can be shortened to the same length as a reasonable written warranty only if that limit is fair and is written clearly and prominently on the warranty. Any disclaimer that breaks these rules is not valid under federal or state law.
