Text: The AOAO contends that the circuit court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of Royal, Lee, and Liu on its breach of warranties claims. The AOAO essentially argues that Royal, Lee, and Liu extended express warranties to the AOAO and that implied warranties arose by operation of law. The AOAO, however, does not assign as error the circuit court's orders that granted Royal's, Lee's, and Liu's motions for partial summary judgment that asserted that the AOAO's breach of warranties claims were barred by the applicable statute of limitations. And, the AOAO does not present any argument with respect to the circuit court's ruling that the statute of limitations barred the AOAO's breach of warranties claims. Consequently, even assuming arguendo that the AOAO prevails on its argument asserted on appeal that Royal, Lee, and Liu extended express warranties to the AOAO and that implied warranties arose by operation of law, the AOAO's breach of warranties claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations in light of the AOAO's failure to challenge such basis. The AOAO's contention with respect to its breach of warranties claims, therefore, is deemed waived. See HRAP Rule 28(b)(4) (2007) (Points not presented . . . will be disregarded [.] (Emphasis added.)); HRAP Rule 28(b)(7) (2007) (Points not argued may be deemed waived.); see also Whitey's Boat Cruises, Inc. v. Napali-Kauai Boat Charters, Inc., 110 Hawai`i 302, 318 n. 26, 132 P.3d 1213, 1229 n. 26 (2006). Accordingly, we hold that the circuit court did not err in granting summary judgment in favor of Royal, Lee, and Liu on the AOAO's breach of warranties claims.
