warrantor

One who guarantees

A warrantor is a person or entity that provides a warranty—a formal guarantee or promise, typically regarding the quality, condition, or performance of something being sold or transferred.

In legal and commercial contexts, the warrantor assumes responsibility if the warranty is breached.

The warrantor agreed to repair or replace any defective parts within the first year.

The term appears most often in contracts, real estate transactions, and consumer product documentation.
