Question

Extron Inc. sent a Purchase Order to Comstock Co. for 200 chairs @ $3.00 each with a 90 day warranty. Comstock shipped the 200 chairs with an invoice which stated the price was $3.00 per chair and the warranty would be 30 days. Extron used the chairs for 45 days and then one of them broke. What is the applicable warranty period?

Answer 1

Answer:

30 Days

Explanation:

As provided, we have:

The selling party has clearly mentioned in the sales invoice that warranty period is of 30 days, even though the purchase order demanded warranty of 90 days, but since the buyer accepted the chairs with warranty of 30 days clearly stated, and this acceptance is communicated by the use of chairs by the buyer.

This is clearly acceptance by Extron Inc. as they have used chairs, beyond the warranty period allowed, now there is no warranty available on chairs.

Thus, effective warranty period will be 30 days.
