Guarantee
The guarantee is a legally binding assurance of a certain property of a thing.
This is often excluded because the person describing the property of a thing can only effectively prevent recourse for the consequences of incorrect information (e.g. announcement of the lottery numbers , timetables ).
The term warranty is derived from this, which in Germany , in contrast to the voluntary guarantee declaration of a supplier, is regulated by law (including § 437 BGB ).
For the historical significance of guarantee, see the relevant article in the German legal dictionary (Vol. IV Sp. 635–653).
etymology
The verb grant comes from the Old High German (gi) wërēn “to concede” (first surviving mentions from the 8th century), from which the same meaning gewërn developed in Middle High German . The root word wera means something like "eighth" in Indo-European , cf. also perceive and transferred to moral and religious beliefs preserve . Guarantee is the abstraction to grant . Compounds with this are, for example, guarantor or guarantee .
