In both American and Brazilian legal systems, express warranties are critical consumer protection mechanisms. In the USA, they are governed by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). In Brazil, they are protected under the Consumer Protection Code (Código de Defesa do Consumidor). Express warranties are distinct from implied warranties because they are explicitly stated, making them easier to enforce legally. Brazilian consumers have strong protections regarding express warranties, and sellers must honor them or face significant penalties.
