Subject to subsection 3, to exclude or modify the implied warranty of merchantability or any part of itthe language must mention merchantability and in case of a writing must be conspicuous, and to exclude or modify any implied warranty of fitness the exclusion must be by a writing and conspicuous. Language to exclude all implied warranties of fitness is sufficient if itstates, for example, that “There are no warranties which extend beyond the description on the face hereof.” 3.
