Warranty disputes are disputes over the breach of contractual obligations, and in Georgia there is no separate "warranty act": the legal basis of warranty claims lies in the general norms of the Civil Code — damages for breach of obligation, the additional period and refusal of the contract, and the norm on breach of the conditions of delivery of property in leasing relations.
The Claim for Damages on Breach of Obligation
Upon the debtor's breach of an obligation, the creditor may demand compensation for the damage caused thereby. This rule does not apply where the debtor bears no liability for the breach — the exclusion of liability excludes compensation as well.
Upon the debtor's delay, the creditor may set the debtor a period necessary for the performance of the obligation. If the debtor does not perform even within that time, the creditor has the right, instead of performance, to demand compensation for the damage. Determining an additional period is unnecessary if it is obvious that it will have no consequence, or when special circumstances exist which, considering the interests of both parties, justify the immediate application of the claim for damages.
