Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An express warranty is a specific promise made by the seller about the quality or performance of the product. An implied warranty is a warranty that is not stated in the contract but is implied by law. In this case, the statement "warranted to be free from defects for 48,000 miles or forty-eight months, whichever occurs first" creates an express warranty because it is a specific promise made by the seller about the quality of the product. The statement also creates an implied warranty of merchantability because it implies that the product is fit for its intended purpose.
