warranty term
also called guarantee period · warranty duration
The stated duration of this warranty — a numeral with a time unit (a 12-month guarantee, a 2-year warranty, ten years on the compressor), riding one warranty statement as its qualifier. Optional and absent when the promise is not time-bound: a lifetime warranty states the lifetime scope instead of a numeral, and a distance-bound promise (an 80,000-mile treadwear warranty) keeps its bound in the warranty's stated name until a real registration demands a distance qualifier. The structural term only — the realised expiry date of a bought unit is computed downstream from the sale moment, never stated here.
Warranty term is a measured figure, given in seconds or minutes.
It is a qualifier of warranty — it has meaning only inside a warranty statement, one per statement, never on its own. It belongs with warranty to warranty & returns — one facet of a product.
It is answered inside every warranty statement, not as a standalone question on a kind.
