Warranty

In contract law, a warranty is a promise which is not a condition of the contract or an innominate term: (1) it is a term 'not going to the root of the contract', and (2) which only entitles the innocent party to damages if it is breached: i.e. the warranty is not true or the defaulting party does not perform the contract in accordance with the terms of the warranty. A warranty is not guarantee. It is a mere promise. It may be enforced if it is breached by an award for the legal remedy of damages.
