limited warranty

Restricted product promise

A limited warranty is a manufacturer's or seller's guarantee that covers only certain defects or components for a specified time.

Unlike a full warranty, it may exclude labor costs, require the buyer to pay shipping, or offer only repair rather than replacement.

Most consumer electronics and appliances come with limited warranties: The laptop has a one-year limited warranty.
