Repair Warranty Period

Repair Warranty Period is a common after-sales clause term in foreign trade contracts, referring to the period during which the seller is responsible for free repair of the products or equipment provided. It usually starts from the date of delivery, acceptance, or completion of installation and commissioning. The duration is negotiated by both parties, commonly ranging from 6 months to 2 years. Usage scenarios include export contracts for machinery, electronic products, complete equipment, etc., especially for transactions requiring installation and commissioning or long-term after-sales support. Notes: 1) The starting point should be clearly defined to avoid disputes arising from differences between 'delivery' and 'acceptance'; 2) The scope of warranty should be defined, such as whether it includes wear parts, human damage, force majeure, etc.; 3) Response time, repair method (on-site/return to factory), and cost bearing (such as travel expenses, parts costs) should be agreed upon; 4) It is different from 'Quality Warranty Period', which usually covers the overall quality of the product, while Repair Warranty Period focuses more on repair service responsibility; similar to 'Warranty Period', but Repair Warranty Period emphasizes the 'repair' action rather than just 'guarantee'. In foreign trade practice, it is recommended to link the Repair Warranty Period with claim clauses and force majeure clauses to reduce risks.
