MD. Commercial Law Code Ann. §  22-402 (2021)
2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 22 - Maryland Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act|Subtitle 4 - Warranties|Section 22-402 - Express Warranty

    (a)    Subject to subsection (c) of this section, an express warranty by a licensor is created as follows:        (1)    An affirmation of fact or promise made by the licensor to its licensee, including by advertising, which relates to the information and becomes part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the information to be furnished under the agreement will conform to the affirmation or promise.        (2)    Any description of the information which is made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the information will conform to the description.        (3)    Any sample, model, or demonstration of a final product which is made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the performance of the information will reasonably conform to the performance of the sample, model, or demonstration, taking into account differences that would appear to a reasonable person in the position of the licensee between the sample, model, or demonstration and the information as it will be used.    (b)    It is not necessary to the creation of an express warranty that the licensor use formal words, such as “warranty” or “guaranty”, or state a specific intention to make a warranty. However, an express warranty is not created by:        (1)    An affirmation or prediction merely of the value of the information or informational rights;        (2)    A display or description of a portion of the information to illustrate the aesthetics, appeal, suitability to taste, subjective quality, or the like of informational content; or        (3)    A statement purporting to be merely opinion or commendation of the information or informational rights.    (c)    An express warranty or similar express contractual obligation, if any, exists with respect to published informational content covered by this title to the same extent that it would exist if the published informational content had been published in a form that placed it outside this title. However, if the warranty or similar express contractual obligation is breached, the remedies of the aggrieved party are those under this title and the agreement.

2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 22 - Maryland Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act|Subtitle 4 - Warranties|Section 22-404 - Implied Warranty: Informational Content

    (a)    Unless the warranty is disclaimed or modified, a merchant that, in a special relationship of reliance with a licensee, collects, compiles, processes, provides, or transmits informational content warrants to that licensee that there is no inaccuracy in the informational content caused by the merchant’s failure to perform with reasonable care.    (b)    A warranty does not arise under subsection (a) of this section with respect to:        (1)    Published informational content; or        (2)    A person that acts as a conduit or provides no more than editorial services in collecting, compiling, distributing, processing, providing, or transmitting informational content that under the circumstances can be identified as that of a third person.    (c)    The warranty under this section is not subject to the preclusion in § 22-113(a)(1) of this title on disclaiming obligations of diligence, reasonableness, or care.

    (a)    Unless the warranty is disclaimed or modified, if a licensor at the time of contracting has reason to know any particular purpose for which the computer information is required and that the licensee is relying on the licensor’s skill or judgment to select, develop, or furnish suitable information, the following rules apply:        (1)    Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (2), there is an implied warranty that the information is fit for that purpose.        (2)    If from all the circumstances it appears that the licensor was to be paid for the amount of its time or effort regardless of the fitness of the resulting information, the warranty under paragraph (1) is that the information will not fail to achieve the licensee’s particular purpose as a result of the licensor’s lack of reasonable effort.    (b)    There is no warranty under subsection (a) of this section with regard to:        (1)    The aesthetics, appeal, suitability to taste, or subjective quality of informational content; or        (2)    Published informational content, but there may be a warranty with regard to the licensor’s selection among published informational content from different providers if the selection is made by an individual acting as or on behalf of the licensor.    (c)    If an agreement requires a licensor to provide or select a system consisting of computer programs and goods, and the licensor has reason to know that the licensee is relying on the skill or judgment of the licensor to select the components of the system, there is an implied warranty that the components provided or selected will function together as a system.    (d)    The warranty under this section is not subject to the preclusion in § 22-113(a)(1) of this title on disclaiming diligence, reasonableness, or care.

2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 22 - Maryland Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act|Subtitle 4 - Warranties|Section 22-407 - Modification of a Computer Program

    A licensee that modifies a computer program, other than by using a capability of the program intended for that purpose in the ordinary course, does not invalidate any warranty regarding performance of an unmodified copy but does invalidate any warranties, express or implied, regarding performance of the modified copy. A modification occurs if a licensee alters code in, deletes code from, or adds code to the computer program.

2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 22 - Maryland Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act|Subtitle 4 - Warranties|Section 22-408 - Culmination and Conflict of Warranties

    Warranties, whether express or implied, must be construed as consistent with each other and as cumulative, but if that construction is unreasonable, the intention of the parties determines which warranty is dominant. In ascertaining that intention, the following rules apply:         (1)    Exact or technical specifications displace an inconsistent sample or model or general language of description.        (2)    A sample displaces inconsistent general language of description.        (3)    Express warranties displace inconsistent implied warranties other than an implied warranty under § 22-405(a) of this subtitle.

2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 22 - Maryland Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act|Subtitle 5 - Transfer of Interests and Rights; Ownership and Transfers; Financing Arrangements|Section 22-502 - Title to Copy

    (a)    In a license:        (1)    Title to a copy is determined by the license;        (2)    A licensee’s right under the license to possession or control of a copy is governed by the license and does not depend solely on title to the copy; and        (3)    If a licensor reserves title to a copy, the licensor retains title to that copy and any copies made of it, unless the license grants the licensee a right to make and sell copies to others, in which case the reservation of title applies only to copies delivered to the licensee by the licensor.    (b)    If an agreement provides for transfer of title to a copy, title passes:        (1)    At the time and place specified in the agreement; or        (2)    If the agreement does not specify a time and place:            (A)    With respect to delivery of a copy on a tangible medium, at the time and place the licensor completed its obligations with respect to tender of the copy; or            (B)    With respect to electronic delivery of a copy, if a first sale occurs under federal copyright law, at the time and place at which the licensor completed its obligations with respect to tender of the copy.    (c)    If the party to which title passes under the contract refuses delivery of the copy or rejects the terms of the agreement, title revests in the licensor.

2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 22 - Maryland Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act|Subtitle 5 - Transfer of Interests and Rights; Ownership and Transfers; Financing Arrangements|Section 22-503 - Transfer of Contractual Interest

    The following rules apply to a transfer of a contractual interest:         (1)    A party’s contractual interest may be transferred unless the transfer:            (A)    Is prohibited by other law; or            (B)    Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (3) of this subsection, would materially change the duty of the other party, materially increase the burden or risk imposed on the other party, or materially impair the other party’s property or its likelihood or expectation of obtaining return performance.        (2)    Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (3) of this subsection and § 22-508(a)(1)(B) of this subtitle, a term prohibiting transfer of a party’s contractual interest is enforceable, and a transfer made in violation of that term is a breach of contract and is ineffective to create contractual rights in the transferee against the nontransferring party, except to the extent that:            (A)    The contract is a license for incorporation or use of the licensed information or informational rights with information or informational rights from other sources in a combined work for public distribution or public performance and the transfer is of the completed, combined work; or            (B)    The transfer is of a right to payment arising out of the transferor’s due performance of less than its entire obligation and the transfer would be enforceable under paragraph (1) in the absence of the term prohibiting transfer.        (3)    A right to damages for breach of the whole contract or a right to payment arising out of the transferor’s due performance of its entire obligation may be transferred notwithstanding an agreement otherwise.        (4)    A term that prohibits transfer of a contractual interest under a mass-market license by the licensee must be conspicuous.

2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 22 - Maryland Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act|Subtitle 5 - Transfer of Interests and Rights; Ownership and Transfers; Financing Arrangements|Section 22-504 - Effect of Transfer of Contractual Interest

    (a)    A transfer of “the contract” or of “all my rights under the contract”, or a transfer in similar general terms, is a transfer of all contractual interests under the contract. Whether the transfer is effective is determined by §§ 22-503 and 22-508(a)(1)(B) of this subtitle.    (b)    The following rules apply to a transfer of a party’s contractual interests:        (1)    The transferee is subject to all contractual use terms.        (2)    Unless the language or circumstances otherwise indicate, as in a transfer as security, the transfer delegates the duties of the transferor and transfers its rights.        (3)    Acceptance of the transfer is a promise by the transferee to perform the delegated duties. The promise is enforceable by the transferor and any other party to the original contract.        (4)    The transfer does not relieve the transferor of any duty to perform, or of liability for breach of contract, unless the other party to the original contract agrees that the transfer has that effect.    (c)    A party to the original contract, other than the transferor, may treat a transfer that conveys a right or duty of performance without its consent as creating reasonable grounds for insecurity and, without prejudice to the party’s rights against the transferor, may demand assurances from the transferee under § 22-708 of this title.

    (a)    If all or any part of a licensee’s interest in a license is transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily, the transferee does not acquire an interest in information, copies, or the contractual or informational rights of the licensee unless the transfer is effective under § 22-503 or § 22-508(a)(1)(B) of this subtitle. If the transfer is effective, the transferee takes subject to the terms of the license.    (b)    Except as otherwise provided under trade secret law, a transferee acquires no more than the contractual interest or other rights that the transferor was authorized to transfer.
