Should Software Developers offer warranties for their code?

Survey period: 6 Oct 2013 to 14 Oct 2013

Let's restrict it to just the code and not any loss or damage caused by bad code. If our code breaks should we be legally liable to provide a repair, a replacement or a refund?

Developers should offer warranties, for a price. This should encourage better code from the developer because they understand they will be required to fix the code. The warranty should only cover the fixing of the code and not be liable for its use in an unknown/untested environment.
