Words or conduct relevant to creation of express warranty and tending to negate or limit warranty; construction; excluding or modifying implied warranty of merchantability and implied warranty of fitness; language; example; limiting remedies for breach of warranty.
Status: in_force

Sec. 2316.

Words or conduct relevant to the creation of an express warranty and words or conduct tending to negate or limit warranty shall be construed wherever reasonable as consistent with each other; but subject to the provisions of this article on parol or extrinsic evidence (section 2202) negation or limitation is inoperative to the extent that such construction is unreasonable.

Subject to subsection (3), to exclude or modify the implied warranty of merchantability or any part of it the 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 it states, for example, that "There are no warranties which extend beyond the description on the face hereof."

Notwithstanding subsection (2):

unless the circumstances indicate otherwise, all implied warranties are excluded by expressions like "as is", "with all faults" or other language which in common understanding calls the buyer's attention to the exclusion of warranties and makes plain that there is no implied warranty; and

when the buyer before entering into the contract has examined the goods or the sample or model as fully as he desired or has refused to examine the goods there is no implied warranty with regard to defects which an examination ought in the circumstances to have revealed to him; and

an implied warranty can also be excluded or modified by course of dealing or course of performance or usage of trade; and

with respect to the sale of cattle, hogs, or sheep, there is no implied warranty that the cattle, hogs, or sheep are free from disease, if the seller shows that all state and federal law concerning animal health has been satisfied.

Remedies for breach of warranty can be limited in accordance with the provisions of this article on liquidation or limitation of damages and on contractual modification of remedy (sections 2718 and 2719).

If such suit was brought by the attorney general or a prosecuting attorney, an action may in like manner be brought by them, in the name of the people of this state, for the amount of the judgment so recovered.

If section 2702 or any part of that section is preempted by federal law with respect to a payment, an item of property, or another benefit covered by section 2702, a person who, not for value, receives the payment, item of property, or another benefit to which the person is not entitled under section 2702 is obligated to return the payment, item of property, or benefit or is personally liable for the amount of the payment, or the value of the item of property or benefit, to the person who would have been entitled to it if section 2702 or part of that section were not preempted.
