Cover Image Credit: Andrew Cosand, Creative Commons Executive Summary You buy something, but it breaks or doesn’t work right. So you bring it back to the company that sold it to you to get fixed. Sometimes they fix it -- they want to make sure the customer is happy. But sometimes, they won’t. Nearly all appliances or electronic devices come with some form of written warranty to clarify when repairs would be covered, and under what conditions. When manufacturers choose to provide written or “express” warranties, there are laws that govern how they work.
