Section 2303. Designation of written warranties
(a) Full (statement of duration) or limited warranty
Any warrantor warranting a consumer product by means of a written
warranty shall clearly and conspicuously designate such warranty in
the following manner, unless exempted from doing so by the
Commission pursuant to subsection (c) of this section:
(1) If the written warranty meets the Federal minimum standards
for warranty set forth in section 2304 of this title, then it
shall be conspicuously designated a "full (statement of duration)
warranty".
(2) If the written warranty does not meet the Federal minimum
standards for warranty set forth in section 2304 of this title,
then it shall be conspicuously designated a "limited warranty".
(b) Applicability of requirements, standards, etc., to
representations or statements of customer satisfaction
This section and sections 2302 and 2304 of this title shall not
apply to statements or representations which are similar to
expressions of general policy concerning customer satisfaction and
which are not subject to any specific limitations.
(c) Exemptions by Commission
In addition to exercising the authority pertaining to disclosure
granted in section 2302 of this title, the Commission may by rule
determine when a written warranty does not have to be designated
either "full (statement of duration)" or "limited" in accordance
with this section.
(d) Applicability to consumer products costing more than $10 and
not designated as full warranties
The provisions of subsections (a) and (c) of this section apply
only to warranties which pertain to consumer products actually
costing the consumer more than $10 and which are not designated
"full (statement of duration) warranties".
