| 单词 | Warranty |
| 释义 | 保證、保證書、保證條款 1. A guarantee or assurance. An express or implied promise that certain facts are as they are represented to be. In its common usage, any contractually binding promise, whatever its nature: Oscar Chess Ltd v Williams [1957] 1 All ER 325, 1 WLR 370 (CA). 2. An agreement with reference to goods that are the subject of a contract of sale but collateral to the main purpose of such a contract, the breach of which gives rise to a claim for damages but not to a right to reject the goods and treat the contract as repudiated: Sale of Goods Ordinance (Cap 26) s 2(1); Wallis, Son and Wells v Pratt and Haynes [1911] AC 394 (HL). Warranties are thus distinguishable from conditions, as a breach of condition entitles the innocent party to rescind the contract and claim damages for any loss he may have suffered: Wallis, Son and Wells v Pratt and Haynes, supra. 3. An undertaking in writing, in whatever form, that a statement with respect to the quantity of pre-packed goods, which is contained in any invoice or similar document relating to the goods, or marked on the container of such goods, is accurate: Weights and Measures Ordinance (Cap 68) s 20(6). 4. In marine insurance law, an undertaking by an assured of a promissory nature that some particular thing is or is not to be done or that some condition is to be fulfilled, or whereby he affirms or negatives the existence of a particular state of facts: Marine Insurance Ordinance (Cap 329) s 33(1). There are two types of warranty: express and implied: s 33(2). If the warranty is not complied with then, subject to any express provision in the policy and to the effect of waiver of the breach by the insurer (s 34(3)), the insurer is discharged from liability as from the date of the breach of warranty but without prejudice to any liability incurred by him before that date: s 33(3); Simons (t/a Acme Credit Services) v Gale [1958] 2 All ER 504, 1 WLR 678 (PC). See also Condition; Contract; Damages; Express warranty; Implied warranty; Intermediate term; Promissory warranty; Warrantor. 1.保證或擔保。明示或隱含承諾某些事實正正如所陳述。就一般用法而言，任何有合約約束性的承諾，不論它性質：Oscar Chess Ltd v Williams [1957] 1 All ER 325, 1 WLR 370 （英國上訴法院）。 2.附屬於合約主要目的的條文，就違反該條文，沒有違約的一方僅有獲得損害賠償的權利，而沒有視該合約已終止的權利：《售賣貨品》（第26章）第2(1)條；Wallis, Son and Wells v Pratt and Haynes [1911] AC 394 (HL)。保證條款與條件不同，就雙邊合約而言，違反條件使沒有違約的一方有權撤銷合約，並就他可能遭受的任何損失提出損害賠償的申索，而違反保證條約卻只可沒有違約的一方有權獲得損害賠償：Wallis, Son and Wells v Pratt and Haynes,見上文。 3.指任何形式的書面承諾，保證在發票或相類文件中有關所載經預先包裝貨物數量的陳述，或標記於經預先包裝貨物的容器上有關該貨物數量的陳述，屬確實無誤：《度量衡條例》（第68章）第20(6)條。 4.就海上保險法而言，受保人作出的屬保證性質的承諾，即受保人承諾就某事情會被作出或不會被作出，或承諾就某種條件會獲遵守，或確認或否定某種事情的存在作出保證：《海上保險條例》（第329章）第33條。保證可以是明示的或隱含的兩種：第33(2)條。如該保證沒有被遵守，則除保單的任何明訂條文另有規定外，並除承保人就違約放棄權利的其他後果外（第34(3)條），保險人的法律責任由保證被違反之日起即獲得解除，但此一規定並不影響該日之前由他招致的任何法律責任：第33(3)條；Simons (t/a Acme Credit Services) v Gale [1958] 2 All ER 504, 1 WLR 678 （樞密院）。另見 Condition; Contract; Damages; Express warranty; Implied warranty; Intermediate term; Promissory warranty; Warrantor。n. |
