2010-06-30

228.1. Before proposing to a consumer to purchase a contract that includes an additional warranty on goods, the merchant must inform the consumer orally and in writing, in the manner prescribed by regulation, of the existence and nature of the warranty provided for in sections 37 and 38.

In such a case, the merchant must also inform the consumer orally of the existence and duration of any manufacturer’s warranty that comes with the goods. At the request of the consumer, the merchant must also explain to the consumer orally how to examine all of the other elements of the warranty.

Any merchant who proposes to a consumer to purchase a contract that includes an additional warranty on goods without first providing the information mentioned in this section is deemed to have failed to mention an important fact, and therefore to have used a practice prohibited under section 228.
