Warranty Policy Generator
Turn your warranty terms into a clear policy page with the legal wording US, EU or UK customers need.
What a warranty policy has to say
A warranty is a promise you choose to make on top of the customer's legal rights. The generator builds it from your terms, then adds the wording the law expects in the region you pick. It only uses the facts you give it, and it leaves a placeholder in [square brackets] for anything missing, such as your postal address.
| Region | What the generator adds |
|---|---|
| United States | A Full or Limited title, the nine disclosures in the FTC's warranty rule (16 CFR 701.3), and the exact state-law sentences it requires |
| European Union | A statement that the seller is liable for faults that show up within at least two years of delivery, and that the warranty doesn't affect those rights (Directive (EU) 2019/771) |
| United Kingdom | A statement that the customer's statutory rights aren't affected, plus your name, address, duration and where it applies (Consumer Rights Act 2015, s30) |
- Full vs Limited (US). A warranty is only Full if it doesn't limit implied warranties, covers every owner during the term, is free (parts, labor and postage), gives a refund or replacement when repairs fail, and asks for nothing but notice. Anything less is Limited, which the tool uses unless all five are clearly true.
- Lifetime warranties must say whose lifetime: the product's, or as long as the original buyer owns it (16 CFR 239.4).
How to publish it on Shopify or WooCommerce
- 01
Shopify
Go to Online Store → Pages → Add page, open the HTML view in the editor and paste the result. Then add the page to your footer under Content → Menus.
- 02
WooCommerce
Go to Pages, add a new page, and paste the HTML into a Custom HTML block. Link it from your footer menu and from product pages for items it covers.
- 03
Show it before purchase
In the US, written warranties on products over $15 must be available before the sale. Link the policy near the price or in the product description, not only in the footer.
Pitfalls to avoid
- Don't disclaim implied warranties if you give a written warranty. US federal law doesn't allow it.
- Don't require your own parts or repair service to keep coverage. That's a banned tie-in in the US, though you can exclude damage caused by parts or repairs you didn't provide.
- Fill every placeholder before publishing, and replace [DATE] with the day you publish.
- This is a starting template, not legal advice. Have it reviewed if you sell high-value goods or in several countries.
Questions people ask
Is this legal advice?
No. It's a template that follows the published rules for the US, EU and UK, but it can't know your full situation. Have a lawyer review it if the stakes are high.
Do I have to offer a warranty?
No. A written warranty is voluntary. Customers still have their legal rights: implied warranties in most US states, and at least two years of seller liability for faults in the EU.
What's the difference between a full and a limited warranty?
Under US federal law, a Full warranty meets five minimum standards, including free service for every owner and a refund or replacement when repairs fail. Any warranty that doesn't meet all five must be called Limited.
Can I sell to the EU with a 1-year warranty?
Yes, as long as the policy says it doesn't affect the customer's legal rights. The seller is still responsible for faults that show up within at least two years of delivery, whatever your warranty says.
Where do I link the policy?
In your footer, in your terms, and on the product pages it covers, so customers can read it before they buy.
