Clear, implementation-focused education for online sellers, physical stores and producers preparing to use the harmonised legal-guarantee notice and GARAN durability label.
The legal-guarantee notice explains statutory consumer rights. GARAN communicates a qualifying voluntary durability guarantee offered by a producer. They complement each other, but they are not interchangeable.
Displayed as a general reminder of consumers’ statutory rights. Its elements cannot be edited.
The “XX” example is a template placeholder. Use GARAN only for an eligible producer guarantee and fill the permitted product fields.
Examples reproduced from the European Commission practical guidance and the supplied GARAN colour template. Always use the current official production files.
A fixed official notice that reminds consumers about their legal rights when goods do not conform.
Used only for a producer’s qualifying commercial durability guarantee attached to a particular good or model.
The clearest implementation starts by separating the responsibilities of sellers, physical stores and producers.
Understand where shoppers should encounter the notice and when a product-specific GARAN label should appear before purchase.
Use the correct official printed formats, minimum dimensions and prominent in-store placement for the relevant graphic.
Confirm the guarantee conditions, identify the covered model and prepare the permitted fields without altering the official design.
Software can help display official information. It should not silently decide whether a legal rule applies to a business or certify a producer claim.
Confirm the product, customer context, sales channel and applicable market.
Do not confuse statutory seller obligations with a producer’s commercial guarantee.
Match duration, producer and model to the actual guarantee documentation.
Review product, cart, checkout and customer communications on desktop and mobile.
