Advertising a warranty or guarantee? Know what makes the claim risky before it goes live.
Paste your warranty wording. Get a severity-ranked pre-check against the published FTC guides — bare “lifetime” claims, money-back offers with no disclosed refund terms, absolute “guaranteed / risk-free” wording, implied-warranty disclaimers, and “void if” tying — before a guarantee becomes an FTC problem.

Key Takeaways
- Warranty wording vs published Part 239 factors, severity-ranked.
- Actionable fix checklist — never a silent rewrite or auto-publish.
- Honesty: a heuristic pre-check — not a warranty certification.
Warranty wording first. Part 239 factors next.
Decision-support warranty-advertising ranks — not a certification and not a legal audit.
WarrantyPrecheck — definition
WarrantyPrecheck pre-checks how a business advertises warranties and guarantees against the FTC Guides for the Advertising of Warranties and Guarantees (16 CFR Part 239) read with the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (16 CFR Parts 700-702; 15 U.S.C. §§ 2301-2312) — bare “lifetime” claims, satisfaction/money-back offers with no disclosed refund terms, absolute “guaranteed / risk-free” wording, implied-warranty disclaimers, and “void if” tying conditions — returning a scored, severity-ranked report with concrete edits before the copy goes live.
What this is NOT
- Not a warranty certification, ad-account connector, or compliance guarantee.
- Not a fulfillment or terms-render verifier — whether a guarantee is honored or a disclaimer is effective for your product is an advisory checklist item, never looked up.
- Not a substitute for legal review of FTC or consumer-protection obligations.
Controller / Processor — When packs mention privacy roles, we use GDPR Art.4 labels: Controller and Processor (decision-support only).
Guarantee advertised. Warranty claim challenged.
Undefined “lifetime” claims
“Lifetime” or “for life” with no stated lifetime-of-what or expected useful life is exactly what 16 CFR 239.4 treats as deceptive — the scope the shopper assumes may not be the scope you honor.
Money-back with no disclosed terms
A “satisfaction guaranteed / money-back” headline with the refund amount, time window, and how-to-claim hidden in a linked policy misrepresents the offer under § 239.3 — the ad must carry the material terms.
Absolute guarantees, no material terms
“Risk-free,” “100% guaranteed,” or “never fails” phrased as unconditional, with the limitations left out of the ad, overstates coverage under § 239.2 — either disclose the terms or add a reachable “see warranty” pointer.
A void-if or implied-warranty disclaimer
“Warranty void if you use non-authorized parts” is a prohibited tying condition (Part 700 · 15 U.S.C. § 2302(d)), and disclaiming implied warranties on a product sold with a written warranty is void under § 2308 — both read as legal to consumers who cannot see the limits.

Your questions, answered
What does WarrantyPrecheck check?
A scored, severity-ranked pre-check of one pasted warranty or guarantee wording against the patterns the FTC Guides for the Advertising of Warranties and Guarantees (16 CFR Part 239) describe — decision-support drafts, never a legal opinion.
Does a good score mean my warranty advertising is compliant?
No. Lawfulness depends on the real facts — whether a guarantee is actually honored, whether the material terms are disclosed conspicuously, and how the page renders — outside what any text checker can see. WarrantyPrecheck only flags the published factors present in the wording you paste.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Self-serve plans cancel anytime; access continues until period end.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Start with email signup or Demo mode in the studio, then upgrade when ready.
Do I need my own ChatGPT / OpenAI subscription?
No for Free/Pro. AI runs are included in your plan (fair use) via our platform key. Enterprise can optionally bring your own OpenAI key (BYOK) — configure it at /settings (key stays server-side only).
What is Fair Use / what if I hit the AI limit?
Free includes 3 AI checks/day and 15/month. Pro includes 40/day and 300/month. At the fair-use limit the studio returns a clear QUOTA_EXCEEDED notice with the reset time — the Rule-based demo keeps working; Enterprise BYOK covers heavier volume.
Is checkout secure?
Payments are processed by Waffo Pancake (merchant of record).
What happens after I pay?
You receive access confirmation; fulfillment is tracked via webhook + order logs.

More questions
What inputs?
The warranty / guarantee wording (the exact advertised text), the claim type, the channel it appears on, whether the material terms are disclosed, and strictness.
Warranty certification?
No. Heuristic pre-check — not a warranty certification and not legal advice.
What comes back?
Ranked findings with quoted evidence — undefined “lifetime” claims, money-back offers with no disclosed terms, absolute guarantees, implied-warranty disclaimers, and void-if tying — plus a fix checklist; always review.
Demo or live?
Demo is labelled; live wording needs a configured AI key.
Who is it for?
Consumer-product brands, marketing and growth teams, and agencies advertising warranties, guarantees, or money-back offers.
Primary sources?
Your pasted warranty wording and the published FTC Guides for the Advertising of Warranties and Guarantees (16 CFR Part 239) with the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
Does it verify fulfillment or how terms render?
No — deliberately not. It never checks whether a guarantee is honored, whether the terms are conspicuous on the rendered page, or the legal effect of a disclaimer for your product; those facts live outside the text.
Does it write my copy for me?
No. It judges only the wording you paste and suggests concrete fixes; you still write and publish.
How it compares
| Dimension | Manual | WarrantyPrecheck |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Hours reading Part 239 explainers | Seconds per warranty-ad draft |
| Consistency | Varies by reviewer memory | Same Part 239 factors every run |
| Output | Free-form checklist notes | Structured pre-check report |
| Best for | Final sign-off | Pre-flight QA per guarantee campaign |
When not to use: Skip it when you need a lawyer’s opinion on FTC exposure, verification that a guarantee is honored, confirmation of how terms render on the page, or a call on a disclaimer’s legal effect for your product. This only pre-checks the warranty wording you paste.
