In Illinois, there are primarily two types of warranty provisions that govern various aspects of consumer transactions: implied warranties and express warranties. 1. Implied Warranties: These are unwritten warranties that are automatically imposed by law to protect consumers. Two common types include: — Implied Warranty of Merchantability: Under Illinois law, all sellers, including manufacturers, are required to sell products that are fit for their intended purpose. This means that the goods sold must be of average, acceptable quality, and reasonably conform to the expectations of the buyer. — Implied Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose: If a buyer relies on the seller's skill or judgment to select a specific product for a particular purpose, and the buyer communicates this purpose to the seller, an implied warranty of fitness for that purpose arises. This ensures that the product will fulfill the specific needs of the buyer. 2. Express Warranties: These warranties are created through explicit statements made by a seller or manufacturer, either orally or in writing, which give specific guarantees regarding their products or services. Express warranties may include: — Written warranties: These are warranties that are provided in writing by the seller or manufacturer. They often come in the form of product manuals, brochures, or separate warranty documents, outlining the terms and conditions, coverage, and duration of the warranty. — Oral warranties: These are verbal promises made by the seller or manufacturer regarding the quality, performance, or specifications of the product or service. Although not as easily enforceable as written warranties, oral warranties are still valid and binding in Illinois. It's important for both consumers and businesses to understand these warranty provisions to ensure fair and reasonable transactions. Consumers should be aware of their rights and the protection they are entitled to when purchasing goods or services in Illinois. Businesses need to comply with these provisions to avoid potential legal disputes and ensure customer satisfaction.
