What are "representations"?
I would be interested to have someone discuss the difference between Representations and Warranties. Some contracts have a "Representations and Warranties" section, others only have "Warranties". I don't understand why. Thanks. [I have added a section on Representations and Warranties and have distinguished between the two with examples. jeisenberg.]

Start of Warranty
If the buyer is witholding payment of outstanding balance is the warranty in place or does the warranty start on the day the goods were deliverered? [Generally a warranty is effective upon sale and payment is considered a different subject, subject to credit and collection; however a seller may have an offset for nonpayment against its warranty obligations so consult a lawyer. jeisenberg]

The warranty effective period is the period as stated in the contract.

A warranty policy could be written to state that the warranty is not in effect, until the product has been fully paid for. Or it might simply state, Upon Delivery, in which case, payment is not an issue.

non-infringement
Although I am not sure what it actually is, I am aware that a 'warranty of non-infringement' exists. I just thought I might bring this to attention so that some more knowledgeable person may one day come and add it to the article :) P0150neD   r1Ce         asian  02:35, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
