Magnuson-Moss warranty also provides a guideline on warranty requirement. This paper explores warranty on sale of an electronic (Lenovo smartphone).Express WarrantyWarranty on the selected Smartphone included in its quality description. Under this, it is stated that the Smartphone has 8GB internal memory and various applications. The application already installed includes Opera Mini browser, Face book, Mozilla Firefox among other several applications. The smartphone is also installed with video recorder and internal camera.

These UCC warranty are located under Express Warranty. They have no modification and are the original manufacturer derived.

Consequently, there exists modification of implied warranty, which includes merchantability and fitness for purpose. These modifications are allowable in the UCC and therefore the seller does not take any responsibilities. Users are therefore protected by the warranty only contained in the contract.Magnuson-Moss WarrantyThe warranty above does not comply with the with the Magnuson-Moss warranty.
