Affirmative Warranty

What Does Affirmative Warranty Mean?

An affirmative warranty is a warranty in which the quality of the item covered is verified before the warranty takes effect.

Warranties are a form of insurance policy, and affirmative warranties specifically ensure that both parties are guaranteed the item meets the stated quality before it is insured.

Insuranceopedia Explains Affirmative Warranty

Affirmative warranties are particularly important for high-value items. The additional guarantees provided by the quality check help the party issuing the warranty avoid significant losses from insuring defective, faulty, or damaged items. For the purchaser, affirmative warranties offer added security and protection against acquiring a low-quality product.
