garantiálló

Garantiálló is a Hungarian adjective formed from garant- “guarantee” and álló “standing, lasting.” It is used to describe goods, services, or propositions that are accompanied by a guarantee or warranty, or that are marketed as being protected by such a warranty. The term signals to consumers that a product or service is backed by a guarantee, often implying durability or reliability within the terms of the warranty.

In practice, garantiálló is common in consumer-facing descriptions, catalogs, and advertisements, though it is not a formal legal category with a single, standardized definition across industries. Because garantiálló refers to a guarantee, the exact rights and duration depend on the issuing party (manufacturer, retailer, insurer) and applicable law. Claims of garantiálló status may be regulated to prevent misleading marketing; descriptors should align with the warranty document.

The term is primarily used in Hungarian and may not translate directly into other languages; in English one might say “warranty-backed” or “under warranty,” but such translations are not exact.
