What is an expressed warranty?

An expressed warranty refers to a specific promise or statement made by a seller regarding the performance, quality, or features of a product. This warranty is explicitly communicated to the buyer, often through verbal or written statements. It assures the buyer about certain attributes or performance standards the product is expected to meet. This legal commitment can cover a variety of products, including those in the funeral service industry, ensuring that customers can rely on the seller's representations when making purchasing decisions.

In contrast to expressed warranties, guarantees imposed by law typically refer to implied warranties, which are not explicitly stated but are expected based on the nature of the transaction. Assumptions based on market standards do not represent a specific promise made by the seller and can vary widely. A general promise without specifics lacks the clarity and assurance provided by an expressed warranty, making it less reliable for the consumer.
