What is a "treaty"?

A treaty is a formal, legally binding agreement between two or more parties, typically countries or governments. It is used to regulate relationships and cooperation on various issues, such as trade, defense, or environmental protection. Treaties are negotiated and signed by representatives of the parties involved and often require approval by each party's governing body to become effective. They establish specific terms and conditions that the parties agree to follow and can address a wide range of topics and concerns.

a written agreement in which a manufacturer promises a customer to repair or replace a product, under certain conditions, within a specific period of time

What is a "warranty"?

A warranty is a promise or guarantee provided by a manufacturer or seller that a product will be repaired or replaced if it has defects or problems within a certain period. It usually covers specific issues that may arise under normal use, but it may not include damage caused by accidents or misuse. The purpose of a warranty is to give consumers peace of mind, ensuring that the product will function properly or be replaced if it fails within the agreed-upon timeframe.

phrase
uk flag
/wˈaɪp ðə slˈeɪt klˈiːn/
Idiom

to forget about past disagreements or mistakes and start fresh

What is the origin of the idiom "wipe the slate clean" and when to use it?

The origin of the phrase comes from the practice of writing on a slate board with chalk, which could easily be wiped clean with a damp cloth. This made it a useful tool for teachers to use with students, as they could easily correct mistakes and start over. The metaphorical use of the phrase in regard to personal relationships or business dealings likely stems from the idea that, like a slate board, mistakes and offenses can be wiped away, allowing for a fresh start. The phrase has been in use since at least the mid-1800s and continues to be a common expression today.
