(2) An agreement sufficient to constitute a lease contract may be found although the moment of its making is undetermined.     (3) Although one or more terms are left open, a lease contract does not fail for indefiniteness if the parties have intended to make a lease contract and there is a reasonably certain basis for giving an appropriate remedy.

UT Code § 70A-2a-205 (2021)

70A-2a-206. Offer and acceptance in formation of lease contract.

UT Code § 70A-2a-207 (2021)
2021 Utah Code|Title 70A - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 2a - Uniform Commercial Code - Leases|Part 2 - Statute of Frauds, Seal, Offers, Warranties, Insurance|Section 207 - Course of performance or practical construction.

70A-2a-207. Course of performance or practical construction.    (1) If a lease contract involves repeated occasions for performance by either party with knowledge of the nature of the performance and opportunity for objection to it by the other, any course of performance accepted or acquiesced in without objection is relevant to determine the meaning of the lease agreement.     (2) The express terms of a lease agreement and any course of performance, as well as any course of dealing and usage of trade, must be construed whenever reasonable as consistent with each other; but if that construction is unreasonable, express terms control course of performance, course of performance controls both course of dealing and usage of trade, and course of dealing controls usage of trade.     (3) Subject to the provisions of Section 70A-2a-208 on modification and waiver, course of performance is relevant to show a waiver or modification of any term inconsistent with the course of performance.    Enacted by Chapter 197, 1990 General Session

70A-2a-208. Modification, rescission, and waiver.    (1) An agreement modifying a lease contract needs no consideration to be binding.     (2) A signed lease agreement that excludes modification or rescission except by a signed writing may not be otherwise modified or rescinded.     (3) Although an attempt at modification or rescission does not satisfy the requirements of Subsection (2), it may operate as a waiver.     (4) A party who has made a waiver affecting an executory portion of a lease contract may retract the waiver by reasonable notification received by the other party that strict performance will be required of any term waived, unless the retraction would be unjust in view of a material change of position in reliance on the waiver.    Enacted by Chapter 197, 1990 General Session
UT Code § 70A-2a-209 (2021)
2021 Utah Code|Title 70A - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 2a - Uniform Commercial Code - Leases|Part 2 - Statute of Frauds, Seal, Offers, Warranties, Insurance|Section 209 - Lessee under finance lease as beneficiary of supply contract.

70A-2a-209. Lessee under finance lease as beneficiary of supply contract.    (1) The benefit of a supplier's promises to the lessor under the supply contract and of all warranties, whether express or implied, including those of any third party provided in connection with or as part of the supply contract, extends to the lessee to the extent of the lessee's leasehold interest under a finance lease related to the supply contract, but is subject to the terms of the warranty and the supply contract and all defenses or claims arising therefrom.     (2) The extension of the benefit of a supplier's promises and of warranties to the lessee as provided in Subsection (1) does not:   (a) modify the rights and obligations of the parties to the supply contract, whether arising therefrom or otherwise; or     (b) impose any duty or liability under the supply contract on the lessee.       (3) Any modification or rescission of the supply contract by the supplier and the lessor is effective between the supplier and the lessee unless, prior to the modification or rescission, the supplier has received notice that the lessee has entered into a finance lease related to the supply contract. If the modification or rescission is effective between the supplier and the lessee, the lessor is considered to have assumed, in addition to the obligations of the lessor to the lessee under the lease contract, promises of the supplier to the lessor and warranties that were so modified or rescinded as they existed and were available to the lessee before modification or rescission.     (4) In addition to the extension of the benefit of the supplier's promises and warranties to the lessee under Subsection (1), the lessee retains all rights and remedies which the lessee may have against the supplier that arise from any agreement between the lessee and the supplier or from any other law.    Amended by Chapter 237, 1993 General Session

70A-2a-210. Express warranties.    (1) Express warranties by the lessor are created as follows:   (a) Any affirmation of fact or promise made by the lessor to the lessee which relates to the goods and becomes part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the goods will conform to the affirmation or promise.     (b) Any description of the goods which is made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the goods will conform to the description.     (c) Any sample or model that is made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the whole of the goods will conform to the sample or model.       (2) It is not necessary to the creation of an express warranty that the lessor use formal words, such as "warrant" or "guarantee," or that the lessor have a specific intention to make a warranty, but an affirmation merely of the value of the goods or a statement purporting to be merely the lessor's opinion or commendation of the goods does not create a warranty.    Enacted by Chapter 197, 1990 General Session
UT Code § 70A-2a-211 (2021)

70A-2a-211. Warranties against interference and against infringement -- Lessee's obligation against infringement.

(2) Except in a finance lease, there is in a lease contract by a lessor who is a merchant regularly dealing in goods of the kind a warranty that the goods are delivered free of the rightful claim of any person by way of infringement or the like.     (3) A lessee who furnished specifications to a lessor or a supplier shall hold the lessor and the supplier harmless against any claim by way of infringement or the like that arises out of compliance with the specifications.

70A-2a-212. Implied warranty of merchantability.    (1) Except in a finance lease, a warranty that the goods will be merchantable is implied in a lease contract if the lessor is a merchant with respect to goods of that kind.     (2) To be merchantable, goods must be at least such as:   (a) pass without objection in the trade under the description in the lease agreement;     (b) in the case of fungible goods, are of fair average quality within the description;     (c) are fit for the ordinary purposes for which goods of that type are used;     (d) run, within the variation permitted by the lease agreement, of even kind, quality, and quantity within each unit and among all units involved;     (e) are adequately contained, packaged, and labeled as the lease agreement may require; and     (f) conform to any promises or affirmations of fact made on the container or label.

70A-2a-213. Implied warranty of fitness for particular purpose.  Except in a finance lease, if the lessor at the time the lease contract is made has reason to know of any particular purpose for which the goods are required and that the lessee is relying on the lessor's skill or judgment to select or furnish suitable goods, there is in the lease contract an implied warranty that the goods will be fit for that purpose.

UT Code § 70A-2a-214 (2021)
2021 Utah Code|Title 70A - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 2a - Uniform Commercial Code - Leases|Part 2 - Statute of Frauds, Seal, Offers, Warranties, Insurance|Section 214 - Exclusion or modification of warranties.

70A-2a-214. 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 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.    Enacted by Chapter 197, 1990 General Session
UT Code § 70A-2a-215 (2021)
2021 Utah Code|Title 70A - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 2a - Uniform Commercial Code - Leases|Part 2 - Statute of Frauds, Seal, Offers, Warranties, Insurance|Section 215 - Cumulation and conflict of warranties express or implied.

70A-2a-215. 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:  (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.    Enacted by Chapter 197, 1990 General Session
UT Code § 70A-2a-216 (2021)

70A-2a-216. Third-party beneficiaries of express and implied warranties.  A warranty to or for the benefit of a lessee under this chapter, whether express or implied, extends to any natural person who is in the family or household of the lessee or who is a guest in the lessee's home if it is reasonable to expect that such person may use, consume, or be affected by the goods, and who is injured in person by breach of the warranty. This section does not displace principles of law and equity that extend a warranty to or for the benefit of a lessee to other persons. The operation of this section may not be excluded, modified, or limited, 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 any beneficiary designated under this section.

70A-2a-217. Identification.  Identification of goods as goods to which a lease contract refers may be made at any time and in any manner explicitly agreed to by the parties. In the absence of explicit agreement, identification occurs:  (1) when the lease contract is made if the lease contract is for a lease of goods that are existing and identified;     (2) when the goods are shipped, marked, or otherwise designated by the lessor as goods to which the lease contract refers if the lease contract is for a lease of goods that are not existing and identified; or     (3) when the young are conceived if the lease contract is for a lease of unborn young of animals.

70A-2a-218. Insurance and proceeds.    (1) A lessee obtains an insurable interest when existing goods are identified to the lease contract even though the goods identified are nonconforming and the lessee has an option to reject them.     (2) If a lessee has an insurable interest only by reason of the lessor's identification of the goods, the lessor, until default or insolvency or notification to the lessee that identification is final, may substitute other goods for those identified.     (3) Notwithstanding a lessee's insurable interest under Subsections (1) and (2), the lessor retains an insurable interest until an option to buy has been exercised by the lessee and risk of loss has passed to the lessee.     (4) Nothing in this section impairs any insurable interest recognized under any other statute or rule of law.     (5) The parties by agreement may determine that one or more parties have an obligation to obtain and pay for insurance covering the goods and by agreement may determine the beneficiary of the proceeds of the insurance.

70A-2a-219. 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.     (2) Subject to the provisions of this chapter on the effect of default on risk of loss as provided in Section 70A-2a-220, 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) and 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; but     (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.       (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.     (c) In any case not within Subsection (2)(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 of delivery.      Amended by Chapter 324, 2010 General Session
UT Code § 70A-2a-220 (2021)
2021 Utah Code|Title 70A - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 2a - Uniform Commercial Code - Leases|Part 2 - Statute of Frauds, Seal, Offers, Warranties, Insurance|Section 220 - Effect of default on risk of loss.

70A-2a-220. Effect of default on risk of loss.    (1) Where risk of loss is to pass to the lessee and the time of passage is not stated:   (a) 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.     (b) If the lessee rightfully revokes acceptance, he, to the extent of any deficiency in his effective insurance coverage, may treat the risk of loss as having remained with the lessor from the beginning.       (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 his effective insurance coverage may treat the risk of loss as resting on the lessee for a commercially reasonable time.

70A-2a-221. 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 70A-2a-219, then:  (1) if the loss is total, the lease contract is avoided; and     (2) if the loss is partial or the goods have so deteriorated as to no longer conform to the lease contract, the lessee may nevertheless demand inspection and at his option either treat the lease contract as avoided or, except in a finance lease, accept the goods with due allowance from the rent payable for the balance of the lease term for the deterioration or the deficiency in quantity but without further right against the lessor.
