Guarantee is one of words that customers love to hear and one that businesses love to say, although, there is often much more, or possibly much less, to the guarantee than first meets the eye. Both consumers and business entities must protect themselves from the terms of a guarantee that can be ill-worded or lacking in certain terminology, which will ultimately benefit or protect one or both of
. the parties. Guarantees are extremely useful at building confidence in a product or service but only if they actually hold up. Anyone can claim that a product lasts for a certain amount of time or that a particular service is up to standards. Proving and backing up the claims, on the other hand, is another story altogether. The terms of the guarantee are where the real focus should be, as these can negatively affect both the customer and the business. Vague terms leaves businesses open to repeated returns or additional services, potentially costing two or three times what the original costs were, or resulting in a total loss. For the consumer, a guarantee is only as good as those providing it and the words contained within. Due to legal ramifications, most operations have to explain these guarantees in black and white, along said offer, often in the form of fine print at some obscure place on the ad. Consumers should be aware of the asterisk preceding or following the word "guarantee" or terms that include "conditions apply", both of which typically denote the real details of the guarantee and whether it actually covers anything worthwhile. Some great examples of detailed guarantees are found at www.YourFreeLegalForms.com and Microsoft Office programs and add-ons can be found at www.Office.Microsoft.com. With the right template and clear terminology, a business guarantee carries more weight and is more likely to make a difference to those being offered them.
