Exclusion or modification of warranties
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) Words or conduct relevant to the creation of an express warranty and words or conduct tending
to negate or limit a warranty must be construed wherever reasonable as consistent with each
other; but, subject to the provisions of Section 70A-2a-202 on parol or extrinsic evidence,
negation or limitation is inoperative to the extent that the construction is unreasonable.
(2) Subject to Subsection (3), to exclude or modify the implied warranty of merchantability or any
part of it the language must mention "merchantability," be by a writing, and be conspicuous.
Subject to Subsection (3), to exclude or modify any implied warranty of fitness the exclusion
must be by a writing and be conspicuous. Language to exclude all implied warranties of fitness
is sufficient if it is in writing, is conspicuous, and states, for example, "There is no warranty that
the goods will be fit for a particular purpose."
(3) Notwithstanding Subsection (2), but subject to Subsection (4):
(a) unless the circumstances indicate otherwise, all implied warranties are excluded
by expressions like "as is," or "with all faults," or by other language that in common
understanding calls the lessee's attention to the exclusion of warranties and makes plain that
there is no implied warranty, if in writing and conspicuous;
(b) if the lessee before entering into the lease contract has examined the goods or the sample or
model as fully as desired or has refused to examine the goods, there is no implied warranty
with regard to defects that an examination ought in the circumstances to have revealed; and

(c) an implied warranty may also be excluded or modified by course of dealing, course of
performance, or usage of trade.
(4) To exclude or modify a warranty against interference or against infringement as provided in
Section 70A-2a-211, or any part of the warranty, the language must be specific, be by a writing,
and be conspicuous, unless the circumstances, including course of performance, course of
dealing, or usage of trade, give the lessee reason to know that the goods are being leased
subject to a claim or interest of any person.
