No, but the Fedora trademark Guidelines
(http://fedora.redhat.com/about/trademarks/guidelines/page4.html)
do:
"If they charge a fee for the CD-ROM or other media on which they
deliver the Fedora™ code, they warranty the media on which the
Fedora™ code is delivered, thus ensuring that the recipient
receives a usable copy."
