Warranty basics worth knowing
- Manufacturer warranty and an extended/retailer 'protection plan' are two different things — the manufacturer warranty is free and covers defects; an extended plan (Geek Squad, Asurion, SquareTrade) is a separate paid service contract sold by a third party, not the maker.
- The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and the implied warranty of merchantability protect you beyond the written terms — this federal law preserves an implied warranty that goods work as expected, and a written warranty can't disclaim it while it lasts — baseline protection even after fine-print limits.
