Honesty builds trust

A warranty is a contract with an issuer, not a blanket promise that nothing will fail.

Present like this

Name the issuer and product tier covered.

State remaining duration from the recorded start date.

Attach transfer steps if the buyer must register.

Note exclusions such as storm damage or poor maintenance.

Avoid phrases like fully warranted unless documents support them.
