It's a .doc file, I think it's a typo, I hadn't realized until Paul suggested it.
Andy Watkinson Feb 14, 2008:
Following on from Paul, is the original a fax/scanned version/handwritten, etc...?
Paul Merriam Feb 13, 2008:
You have a typo in your source text. It should be warranty or guarantee.

garantía

A warranty is a promise that someone else will do something. A guarantee is a promise that you will do something. Both are backed up by an obligation to pay for damages caused by failure to keep the promise.

Although this distinction exists, usage tends to meld them (i.e., many people are sloppy). I'm fairly sure that garantía is used in both cases in Spanish. I think your translation of the sentence is fine.

(ninguna otra) responsabilidad de garantía

warranty protege al comprador de alguna falla o defecto (tiene plazo)
guarantee : devuelve el dinero o le proporciona un producto similar ante algún problema serio.

Ambas implican responder ante y ambas efectivamente equivalen a "garantía" en español.

Por eso mi sugerencia si se quiere respetar al máximo el original.
