Post-Repair Warranty refers to a limited warranty period re-provided by the seller for repaired or replaced goods/components or the entire unit after repair completion in foreign trade. It is commonly used in after-sales repair, return/exchange handling, or quality claims, where the seller provides quality assurance for the repair service itself and replacement parts. Notes: 1) Warranty coverage typically only covers the repaired or replaced part, not the entire unit; 2) The warranty period may be shorter than the original manufacturer's warranty or separately agreed upon by both parties; 3) It must be clarified whether labor costs, shipping fees, and inspection fees are included; 4) It differs from 'Original Warranty,' which covers the entire unit after initial sale, whereas post-repair warranty only applies to the repair action. It also differs from 'Extended Warranty,' which is a paid extension of the original warranty period and does not involve re-warranty after repair. In practice, the warranty start date, duration, scope of liability, and exemption clauses should be clearly stipulated in the contract or repair agreement to avoid subsequent disputes.
