This is one I can answer. I studied this in my law classes and believe it or not it is very confusing even for those who practice real estate law. A guarantee is Something that assures a particular outcome or condition. Example A promise or an assurance, especially one given in writing, that attests to the quality or durability of a product or service A warranty is Justification or valid grounds for an act or a course of action Example An assurance by the seller of property that the goods or property are as represented or will be as promised

Sure. A guarantee is "a promise or assurance, esp. one in writing, that something is of specified quality, content, benefit, etc., or that it will perform satisfactorily for a given length of time." A warranty is "a written guarantee given to the purchaser of a new appliance, automobile, or other item by the manufacturer or dealer, usually specifying that the manufacturer will make any repairs or replace defective parts free of charge for a stated period of time."
