 §2-1214. Exclusion or modification of warranties (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 2-1202 on parol or extrinsic evidence, negation or limitation is inoperative to the extent that the construction is unreasonable.   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).] (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."   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).] (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," "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;   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).](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   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).](c). An implied warranty may also be excluded or modified by course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade.   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).][PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).] (4).  To exclude or modify a warranty against interference or against infringement under section 2-1211, or any part of it, 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.   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).] (5).  In a consumer lease that is not a finance lease, the lessor's ability to disclaim, exclude or modify any implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose or to exclude or modify the consumer's remedies for breach of those warranties is subject to and governed by the terms and provisions of section 2-316, subsection (5).   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).] SECTION HISTORY PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).

 §2-1215. Cumulation and conflict of warranties express or implied 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.   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).](1).  Exact or technical specifications displace an inconsistent sample or model or general language of description.   (2).  A sample from an existing bulk displaces inconsistent general language of description.   (3).  Express warranties displace inconsistent implied warranties other than an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.   SECTION HISTORY PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).

The operation of this section may not be excluded, modified or limited with respect to injury to the person of an individual to whom the warranty extends, but an exclusion, modification or limitation of the warranty, including any with respect to rights and remedies, effective against the lessee is also effective against the beneficiary designated under this section.   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).]SECTION HISTORY PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).

 §2-1219. Risk of loss (1).  Except in the case of a finance lease, risk of loss is retained by the lessor and does not pass to the lessee. In the case of a finance lease, risk of loss passes to the lessee.   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).] (2).  Subject to the provisions of this Article on the effect of default on risk of loss (section 2-1220) if risk of loss is to pass to the lessee and the time of passage is not stated, the following rules apply.   (a). If the lease contract requires or authorizes the goods to be shipped by carrier:   (i) If it does not require delivery at a particular destination, the risk of loss passes to the lessee when the goods are duly delivered to the carrier; or   (ii) If it does require delivery at a particular destination and the goods are there duly tendered while in the possession of the carrier, the risk of loss passes to the lessee when the goods are there duly so tendered as to enable the lessee to take delivery.   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).](b). If the goods are held by a bailee to be delivered without being moved, the risk of loss passes to the lessee on acknowledgment by the bailee of the lessee's right to possession of the goods.   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).](c). In any case not within paragraph (a) or (b), the risk of loss passes to the lessee on the lessee's receipt of the goods if the lessor, or, in the case of a finance lease, the supplier, is a merchant; otherwise the risk passes to the lessee on tender or delivery.   [RR 1993, c. 1, §29 (COR).][RR 1993, c. 1, §29 (COR).] SECTION HISTORY PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).

If a tender or delivery of goods so fails to conform to the lease contract as to give a right of rejection, the risk of their loss remains with the lessor, or, in the case of a finance lease, the supplier, until cure or acceptance; or   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).](b). If the lessee rightfully revokes acceptance, the lessee, to the extent of any deficiency in the lessee's effective insurance coverage, may treat the risk of loss as having remained with the lessor from the beginning.   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).][PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).] (2).  Whether or not risk of loss is to pass to the lessee, if the lessee as to conforming goods already identified to a lease contract repudiates or is otherwise in default under the lease contract, the lessor, or, in the case of a finance lease, the supplier, to the extent of any deficiency in effective insurance coverage may treat the risk of loss as resting on the lessee for a commercially reasonable time.   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).] SECTION HISTORY PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).

Casualty to identified goods If a lease contract requires goods identified when the lease contract is made, and the goods suffer casualty without fault of the lessee, the lessor or the supplier before delivery, or the goods suffer casualty before risk of loss passes to the lessee pursuant to the lease agreement or section 2-1219, then:   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).](1).  If the loss is total, the lease contract is avoided; and   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).] (2).  After delivery in a consumer lease, if the goods are lost or destroyed:   (a). If the lessee is not in default under the lease, the lessee may provide substitute goods of at least equal kind and quality satisfactory to the lessor and continue the lease. Permission to substitute goods may not be unreasonably withheld by the lessor. Any insurance proceeds paid with respect to the goods must be applied to the purchase of the substitute goods; or   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).](b). At the consumer's option, any insurance proceeds must be paid to the lessor and, in such an instance, the lessee remains liable only for the insurance deductible plus any amounts otherwise due to the lessor because of any prior default by the lessee under the terms of the lease.   [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).][PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).] SECTION HISTORY PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).
