English term or phrase: Warranty & Guarantee
Det er vel en forskjell på "warranty" og "guarantee", men har vi forskjellige ord på norsk?

Norwegian translation:garanti
Explanation:
På norsk vil vi ikke skille disse to begrepene. Det eneste alternativet til en "garanti" i Norge, vil være det lovbestemte "mangelsansvaret", som fremgår av bl.a. kjøpslovgivn.ingen.

Jeg foreslår derfor at du i dette tilfellet rett og slett oversetter "Warranty & Guarantee" med garanti.

Forskjellen på de to er ganske subtil etter min mening og kan forklares slik: "A warranty is general coverage on the product that covers most things that could cause the product to stop working. It is good for a specific amount of time. It is there primarily to show the customer that their product is in good condition when they acquire it, and if something happens while the product is still relatively new, they will not be out their money. A warranty usually only offers repairs or replacement of a faulty product or parts within that product. You cannot expect to return the product and get your money back.

A guarantee is more of a good will statement that whatever service or product a person or company has provided to their customer will meet their customer's approval. A guarantee may or may not have a time limit attached. Guarantees usually are more open-ended than a warranty, not as many rules attached. If the product or service provided to the customer does not satisfy the customer, and meets the terms of the guarantee, the customer can expect to refund of money or an exchange of one product for another."

Garanti og bytterett


Explanation:
Jeg vil si en warranty er det vi på norsk kaller en garantitid, hvor bedriften juridisk binder seg opp for å dekke eventuelle feil og mangler på et produkt innen en angitt tidsperiode. Her ville det vel gjerne stått 5-års garantitid eller liknenede.
En Guaranty gjelder da kvalitet, at produktet på leveringstidspunktet er som forklart, muligen en bytterett eller "pengene tilbake garanti". hvordan du vil oversette dette avhenger vel da av resten av teksten.
Fra Business Dictionary:
Warranty:
1. General: Legally binding assurance (which may or may not be in writing) that a good or service is, among other things, (1) fit for use as represented, (2) free from defective material and workmanship, (3) meets statutory and/or other specifications. A warranty describes the conditions under, and period during, which the producer or vendor will repair, replace, or other compensate for, the defective item without cost to the buyer or user. Often it also delineates the rights and obligations of both parties in case of a claim or dispute.
2. Contracting: Expressed or implied undertaking that a certain fact regarding the subject matter of a contract is, or will be, true.

Guarantee:
1. General: Written undertaking that something is of a specified benefit, content, or quality, or that it will provide satisfaction or will perform a duty or obligation in a specified manner.
2. Legal: Three-party contingent liability agreement under which a third-party (the guarantor) agrees to be directly or collaterally responsible for the obligation (contract fulfillment, loan) of a first-party (the principal) to a second-party (bank, client) in case the first-party defaults or fails to fulfill its part of a deal. In effect, signing a guaranty as a guarantor is like signing a blank check.
