Section 102(b) of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty—Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act ( 15 U.S.C. 2302(b) ) is amended by adding at the end the following: Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the rules prescribed under this subsection shall allow for the satisfaction of all requirements concerning the availability of terms of a written warranty on a consumer product under this subsection by— making available such terms in an accessible digital format on the Internet website of the manufacturer of the consumer product in a clear and conspicuous manner; and providing to the consumer (or prospective consumer) information with respect to how to obtain and review such terms by indicating on the product or product packaging or in the product manual— the Internet website of the manufacturer where such terms can be obtained and reviewed; and the phone number of the manufacturer, the postal mailing address of the manufacturer, or another reasonable non-Internet based means of contacting the manufacturer to obtain and review such terms.
With respect to any requirement that the terms of any written warranty on a consumer product be made available to the consumer (or prospective consumer) prior to sale of the product, in a case in which a consumer product is offered for sale in a retail location, by catalog, or through door-to-door sales, subparagraph
(A)shall only apply if the seller makes available at the location of the sale to the consumer purchasing the consumer product the terms of the warranty on the consumer product before the purchase. . Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Federal Trade Commission shall revise the rules prescribed under such section to comply with the requirements of paragraph
(4)of such section, as added by subsection
(a)of this section. In revising rules under paragraph (1), the Federal Trade Commission may waive the requirement of section 109(a) of such Act ( 15 U.S.C. 2309(a) ) to give interested persons an opportunity for oral presentation if the Commission determines that giving interested persons such opportunity would interfere with the ability of the Commission to revise rules under paragraph
(1)in a timely manner.
