прошу помощь в переводе.
контекст:d. Refund of Purchase Price. In lieu of the foregoing, Seller may at (...) in its sole discretion, to discharge its warranty by accepting the return of such equipment and refunding any portion of the purchase price paid by Buyer.

discharge its warranty - аннулировать (отменить) гарантию или снимать с себя обязанности по гарантии.
Как будут правильнее в данном случае?

[AMOR 69]

отказаться от гарантийных обязательств, забрав своё добро.
Мнe вот непонятно. Зачем may......, to discharge its warranty через запятую и причем "to"?

[askandy]

discharge its warranty - выполнить свои гарантийные обязательства / обязательства по гаранти (а именно принять возвращаемое оборудование и отдать уплаченные покупателем деньги)

discharge
3) do all that is required to perform (a duty) or fulfil (a responsibility):
(c) Oxford dictionary

[askandy]

"to" там действительно мимо кассы (или контекст с купюрами, ну или автор описАлся, м.б.)

[1980Helen]

askandy а Вы уверены что тут именно выполнить свои гарантийные обязательства / обязательства по гаранти а не аннулировать (отменить) гарантию ? (терзают сомнения)
Спасибо

[Эссбукетов]

1980Helen, askandy прав. для большей уверенности нужно название раздела, содержащего перечень, из которого вы процитировали здесь лишь пункт d.

[1980Helen]

to discharge a liability - выполнить обязательство

pl. liabilities - обязательства; долги; денежные обязательства
to discharge liabilities

[1980Helen]

название раздела : Limited Warranty.

[AMOR 69]

Думаю, ответ можете найти где-то в тексте. Наверное, Аркадий прав на 80%. Вот только смущает, что в гарантийные обязательства входит только возврат, а не ремонт для начала.

[Эссбукетов]

исходя из In lieu of the foregoing, можно предположить, что цитированному разделу предшествует указание способов исполнения гарантийных обязательств (например, ремонт, замена, снижение покупной цены), вместо которых разделом d. предусматривается возможность реституции, т.е., строго говоря, при таком исходе гарантийные обязательства не исполняются, а прекращаются.

[AMOR 69]

Вот это и пришло мне в голову в первую очередь. Но Аркадий тоже makes sense.

[1980Helen]

Вот я о томже Эссбукетов "при таком исходе гарантийные обязательства не исполняются, а прекращаются", скорее всего аннулировать (отменить) гарантию.
