Lots of SSL seem to come with a warranty:

Extended Validation, Green Address Bar
40-bit minimum to 256-bit encryption
USD 0,000 warranty
VeriSign Trust™ Seal and services


Has anyone in history ever managed to claim on the warranty? Are they just a gimmick? Should it affect my purchasing choice?

From the Verisign website, which calls the warranty "Netsure":


NetSure® protects certificate holders against certain losses resulting from breach by VeriSign of the warranties included in your VeriSign SSL Certificate.


Who knows what that really means.

I'm pretty sure the SSL warranty is for the end user and that if the SSL issuer issued the cert to a fraudulent site that stole the end users money or identity they would pay out.
