2021 Massachusetts General Laws|Part I - Administration of the Government|Title XV - Regulation of Trade|Chapter 106 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 2-314 - Implied Warranty: Merchantability; Usage of Trade

Section 2–314. (1) Unless excluded or modified by section 2–316, a warranty that the goods shall be merchantable is implied in a contract for their sale if the seller is a merchant with respect to goods of that kind. Under this section the serving for value of food or drink to be consumed either on the premises or elsewhere is a sale.  (2) Goods to be merchantable must at least be such as  (a) pass without objection in the trade under the contract description; and  (b) in the case of fungible goods, are of fair average quality within the description; and  (c) are fit for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are used; and  (d) run, within the variations permitted by the agreement, of even kind, quality and quantity within each unit and among all units involved; and  (e) are adequately contained, packaged, and labeled as the agreement may require; and  (f) conform to the promises or affirmations of fact made on the container or label if any.  (3) Unless excluded or modified by section 2–316, other implied warranties may arise from course of dealing or usage of trade.

2021 Massachusetts General Laws|Part I - Administration of the Government|Title XV - Regulation of Trade|Chapter 106 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 2-315 - Implied Warranty; Fitness for Particular Purpose

Section 2–315. Where the seller at the time of contracting has reason to know any particular purpose for which the goods are required and that the buyer is relying on the seller's skill or judgment to select or furnish suitable goods, there is unless excluded or modified under the next section an implied warranty that the goods shall be fit for such purpose.

2021 Massachusetts General Laws|Part I - Administration of the Government|Title XV - Regulation of Trade|Chapter 106 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 2-316 - Exclusion or Modification of Warranties

Section 2–316. (1) 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 2–202) negation or limitation is inoperative to the extent that such 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 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.''  (3) Notwithstanding subsection (2)  (a) 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,  (b) 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  (c) an implied warranty can also be excluded or modified by course of dealing or course of performance or usage of trade.  (4) 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 2–718 and 2–719).  (5) The implied warranties of merchantability and fitness shall not be applicable to a contract for the sale of human blood, blood plasma or other human tissue or organs from a blood bank or reservoir of such other tissues or organs. Such blood, blood plasma or tissue or organs shall not for the purposes of this Article be considered commodities subject to sale or barter, but shall be considered as medical services.

2021 Massachusetts General Laws|Part I - Administration of the Government|Title XV - Regulation of Trade|Chapter 106 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 2-316a - Limitation on Exclusion or Modification of Warranties

Section 2–316A. (1) The provisions of section 2–316 shall not apply to the extent provided in this section.  (2) Any language, oral or written, used by a seller or manufacturer of consumer goods and services, which attempts to 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, shall be unenforceable.  (3) Any language, oral or written, used by a manufacturer of consumer goods, which attempts to limit or modify a consumer's remedies for breach of such manufacturer's express warranties, shall be unenforceable, unless such manufacturer maintains facilities within the commonwealth sufficient to provide reasonable and expeditious performance of the warranty obligations.  (4) Any language, oral or written, used by a seller or manufacturer of goods and services, which attempts to exclude or modify any implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose or to exclude or modify remedies for breach of those warranties, shall be unenforceable with respect to injury to the person. This subsection does not affect the validity under other law of an agreement between a seller or manufacturer of goods and services and a buyer that is an organization (see Section 1–201(28)), allocating, as between them, the risk of damages from or providing indemnity for breaches of those warranties with respect to injury to the person.  (5) The provisions of this section may not be disclaimed or waived by agreement.

2021 Massachusetts General Laws|Part I - Administration of the Government|Title XV - Regulation of Trade|Chapter 106 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 2-317 - Cumulation and Conflict of Warranties Express or Implied

Section 2–317. Warranties whether express or implied shall be construed as consistent with each other and as cumulative, but if such construction is unreasonable the intention of the parties shall determine which warranty is dominant. In ascertaining that intention the following rules apply:  (a) Exact or technical specifications displace an inconsistent sample or model or general language of description.  (b) A sample from an existing bulk displaces inconsistent general language of description.  (c) Express warranties displace inconsistent implied warranties other than an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.

2021 Massachusetts General Laws|Part I - Administration of the Government|Title XV - Regulation of Trade|Chapter 106 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 2-318 - Lack of Privity in Actions Against a Manufacturer, Seller, Lessor or Supplier of Goods

Section 2–318. Lack of privity between plaintiff and defendant shall be no defense in any action brought against the manufacturer, seller, lessor or supplier of goods to recover damages for breach of warranty, express or implied, or for negligence, although the plaintiff did not purchase the goods from the defendant if the plaintiff was a person whom the manufacturer, seller, lessor or supplier might reasonably have expected to use, consume or be affected by the goods. The manufacturer, seller, lessor or supplier may not exclude or limit the operation of this section. Failure to give notice shall not bar recovery under this section unless the defendant proves that he was prejudiced thereby. All actions under this section shall be commenced within three years next after the date the injury and damage occurs.

2021 Massachusetts General Laws|Part I - Administration of the Government|Title XV - Regulation of Trade|Chapter 106 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 2-312 - Warranty of Title and Against Infringement; Buyer's Obligation Against Infringement

Section 2–312. (1) Subject to subsection (2) there is in a contract for sale a warranty by the seller that  (a) the title conveyed shall be good, and its transfer rightful; and  (b) the goods shall be delivered free from any security interest or other lien or encumbrance of which the buyer at the time of contracting has no knowledge.  (2) A warranty under subsection (1) will be excluded or modified only by specific language or by circumstances which give the buyer reason to know that the person selling does not claim title in himself or that he is purporting to sell only such right or title as he or a third person may have.  (3) Unless otherwise agreed a seller who is a merchant regularly dealing in goods of the kind warrants that the goods shall be delivered free of the rightful claim of any third person by way of infringement or the like but a buyer who furnishes specifications to the seller must hold the seller harmless against any such claim which arises out of compliance with the specifications.  (4) Unless otherwise agreed a seller makes no warranty under subsection (3) with respect to any claim for which the exclusive remedy of the claimant is by action against the United States in the Court of Claims or in the district courts of the United States.

Section 2–302. (1) If the court as a matter of law finds the contract or any clause of the contract to have been unconscionable at the time it was made the court may refuse to enforce the contract, or it may enforce the remainder of the contract without the unconscionable clause, or it may so limit the application of any unconscionable clause as to avoid any unconscionable result.  (2) When it is claimed or appears to the court that the contract or any clause thereof may be unconscionable the parties shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to present evidence as to its commercial setting, purpose, and effect to aid the court in making the determination.

MA Gen L ch 2 § 2-210 (2021)
2021 Massachusetts General Laws|Part I - Administration of the Government|Title XV - Regulation of Trade|Chapter 106 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 2-210 - Delegation of Performance; Assignment of Rights

Section 2–210. (1) A party may perform his duty through a delegate unless otherwise agreed or unless the other party has a substantial interest in having his original promisor perform or control the acts required by the contract. No delegation of performance relieves the party delegating of any duty to perform or any liability for breach.  (2) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9–406, unless otherwise agreed all rights of either seller or buyer can be assigned except where the assignment would materially change the duty of the other party, or increase materially the burden or risk imposed on him by his contract, or impair materially his chance of obtaining return performance. A right to damages for breach of the whole contract or a right arising out of the assignor's due performance of his entire obligation can be assigned despite agreement otherwise.  (2.5) The creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in the seller's interest under a contract is not a transfer that materially changes the duty of or increases materially the burden or risk imposed on the buyer or impairs materially the buyer's chance of obtaining return performance within the purview of subsection (2) unless, and then only to the extent that, enforcement actually results in a delegation of material performance of the seller. Even in that event, the creation, attachment, perfection, and enforcement of the security interest remain effective, but (i) the seller is liable to the buyer for damages caused by the delegation to the extent that the damages could not reasonably be prevented by the buyer, and (ii) a court having jurisdiction may grant other appropriate relief, including cancellation of the contract for sale or an injunction against enforcement of the security interest or consummation of the enforcement.  (3) Unless the circumstances indicate the contrary a prohibition of assignment of ''the contract'' is to be construed as barring only the delegation to the assignee of the assignor's performance.  (4) An assignment of ''the contract'' or of ''all my rights under the contract'' or an assignment in similar general terms is an assignment of rights and unless the language or the circumstances (as in an assignment for security) indicate the contrary, it is a delegation of performance of the duties of the assignor and its acceptance by the assignee constitutes a promise by him to perform those duties. This promise is enforceable by either the assignor or the other party to the original contract.  (5) The other party may treat any assignment which delegates performance as creating reasonable grounds for insecurity and may without prejudice to his rights against the assignor demand assurances from the assignee (section 2–609).

2021 Massachusetts General Laws|Part I - Administration of the Government|Title XV - Regulation of Trade|Chapter 106 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 2-602 - Manner and Effect of Rightful Rejection

Section 2–602. (1) Rejection of goods must be within a reasonable time after their delivery or tender. It is ineffective unless the buyer seasonably notifies the seller.  (2) Subject to the provisions of the two following sections on rejected goods (section 2–603 and 2–604)  (a) after rejection any exercise of ownership by the buyer with respect to any commercial unit is wrongful as against the seller; and  (b) if the buyer has before rejection taken physical possession of goods in which he does not have a security interest under the provisions of this Article (subsection (3) of section 2–711), he is under a duty after rejection to hold them with reasonable care at the seller's disposition for a time sufficient to permit the seller to remove them; but  (c) the buyer has no further obligations with regard to goods rightfully rejected.  (3) The seller's rights with respect to goods wrongfully rejected are governed by the provisions of this Article on seller's remedies in general (section 2–703).

Section 2–104. (1) ''Merchant'' means a person who deals in goods of the kind or otherwise by his occupation holds himself out as having knowledge or skill peculiar to the practices or goods involved in the transaction or to whom such knowledge or skill may be attributed by his employment of an agent or broker or other intermediary who by his occupation holds himself out as having such knowledge or skill.

''Financing agency'' includes also a bank or other person who similarly intervenes between persons who are in the position of seller and buyer in respect to the goods (section 2–707).

2021 Massachusetts General Laws|Part I - Administration of the Government|Title XV - Regulation of Trade|Chapter 106 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 2-105 - Definitions; Transferability; ''goods''; ''future'' Goods; ''lot''; ''commercial Unit''

Section 2–105. (1) ''Goods'' means all things (including specially manufactured goods) which are movable at the time of identification to the contract for sale other than the money in which the price is to be paid, investment securities (Article 8) and things in action. ''Goods'' also includes the unborn young of animals and growing crops and other identified things attached to realty as described in the section on goods to be severed from realty (section 2–107).  (2) Goods must be both existing and identified before any interest in them can pass. Goods which are not both existing and identified are ''future'' goods. A purported present sale of future goods or of any interest therein operates as a contract to sell.  (3) There may be a sale of a part interest in existing identified goods.  (4) An undivided share in an identified bulk of fungible goods is sufficiently identified to be sold although the quantity of the bulk is not determined. Any agreed proportion of such a bulk or any quantity thereof agreed upon by number, weight or other measure may to the extent of the seller's interest in the bulk be sold to the buyer who then becomes an owner in common.  (5) ''Lot'' means a parcel or a single article which is the subject matter of a separate sale or delivery, whether or not it is sufficient to perform the contract.  (6) ''Commercial unit'' means such a unit of goods as by commercial usage is a single whole for purposes of sale and division of which materially impairs its character or value on the market or in use. A commercial unit may be a single article (as a machine) or a set of articles (as a suite of furniture or an assortment of sizes) or a quantity (as a bale, gross, or carload) or any other unit treated in use or in the relevant market as a single whole.

2021 Massachusetts General Laws|Part I - Administration of the Government|Title XV - Regulation of Trade|Chapter 106 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 2-106 - Definitions: ''contract''; ''agreement''; ''contract for Sale''; ''sale''; ''present Sale''; ''conforming'' to Contract; ''termination''; ''cancellation''

Section 2–106. (1) In this Article unless the context otherwise requires ''contract'' and ''agreement'' are limited to those relating to the present or future sale of goods. ''Contract for sale'' includes both a present sale of goods and a contract to sell goods at a future time. A ''sale'' consists in the passing of title from the seller to the buyer for a price (section 2–401). A ''present sale'' means a sale which is accomplished by the making of the contract.  (2) Goods or conduct including any part of a performance are ''conforming'' or conform to the contract when they are in accordance with the obligations under the contract.  (3) ''Termination'' occurs when either party pursuant to a power created by agreement or law puts an end to the contract otherwise than for its breach. On ''termination'' all obligations which are still executory on both sides are discharged but any right based on prior breach or performance survives.  (4) ''Cancellation'' occurs when either party puts an end to the contract for breach by the other and its effect is the same as that of ''termination'' except that the cancelling party also retains any remedy for breach of the whole contract or of any unperformed balance.
