Heading: Conspicuousness

Text: 17 M.C.L.A. Sec. 440.1201(10) defines conspicuous as follows: 18 A term or clause is conspicuous when it is so written that a reasonable person against whom it is to operate ought to have noticed it. A printed heading in capitals (as: non-negotiable bill of lading) is conspicuous. Language in the body of a form is conspicuous if it is in larger or contrasting type or color.... 19 We find that the disclaimer of warranties was sufficiently conspicuous that a reasonable person would have noticed it. It was located in a paragraph set apart in the inside back cover of the manual, not buried in its interior. The disclaimer was located under a subsection clearly marked Limitations. Although the parties apparently disagree over the size of the actual manual, it is clear that the type of the disclaimer provision is slightly darker than the type of the surrounding provisions.
