Difference Between Condition And Warranty – Stipulation

Condition – If an express stipulation is a part of the contract, i.e., its fulfillment is essential for the contract to be completed, it is deemed to be a condition. If the condition is not met, the aggrieved party is entitled to terminate the contract.

Warranty – It is clear from what has been said that warranty is not an essential object of the contract; it only helps expedite the execution of the contract. If the warranty is violated, the contract does not terminate-only the aggrieved party can file a suit for damages. If a condition of the contract is violated, the contract terminates.

A warranty, on the other hand, does not terminate the contract if it is violated because the buyer is not solely dependent on it in a contract of sale-he only recognises it as being related to the contract and being helpful in its execution.
