A warranty disclaimer — also called an “as is” disclaimer — is a document or statement distributed to inform consumers that a business does not accept liability for issues with their product or services.

To disclaim implied warranties, the seller must notify the buyer in writing that the seller would not be liable if the product is defective or does not perform as the buyer thought it would.

Federal law prohibits you from disclaiming implied warranties on any consumer product if you offer a written warranty for that product (see What the Magnuson-Moss Act Requires) or sell a service contract on it (see Offering Service Contracts).

Another implied warranty is the warranty of title, which implies that the seller of goods has the right to sell them (e.g., they are not stolen, or patent infringements, or already sold to someone else).

A warranty of title also exists for the sale of goods (or a lease warranty for use and possession). Although the warranty is implicitly conveyed with the sale of the good, it is not identified as an implied warranty and may be disclaimed by a clearly communicated writing.

There is an implied warranty of title in all real property transactions. A warranty made in a general warranty deed that the land is unencumbered is known as the "covenant of seisin." A warranty contained in a general warranty deed warranting that the land is unencumbered is known as the "covenant of quiet enjoyment".

Finally, a seller may disclaim all implied warranties by stating that the good is being sold “as is,” “with all faults,” or by stating some other phrase that makes it plain to the buyer there are no implied warranties. The U.C.C. also requires all disclaimers of implied warranties to be in writing.

Every seller, by the mere act of selling, makes a warranty that the seller's title is good and that the transfer is lawful as to passage of title. A warranty of title may be specifically excluded in the contract documents, or the circumstances may be such as to prevent the warranty from arising.
