Government Warranty Clause Application

• When a failure occurs, verify that a warranty clause applies to that specific failure.
• The basic considerations for determining applicability are: whether the government has officially accepted the items or services, examination of the written terms and conditions of the warranty, determination of if any government obligations under the warranty were met, and verification that the facts support invoking the warranty.
• Warranties may provide various remedies, such as repair, replacement, reperformance, or payment for repairs, replacement, or reperformance obtained from other sources. Unless a specific clause states otherwise, the government has the right to choose the remedy that is in its best interest.
