According to Uniform Commercial Code 2-313, a seller can create an express warranty in three ways:\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>With an affirmation of fact or promise<\/li>\r\n \t<li>With a description of the goods<\/li>\r\n \t<li>With a sample or model<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nIn all three cases, the code requires that the seller\u2019s words or actions \u201cbecome part of the basis of the bargain.\u201d In Business Law and the Legal Environment, the authors explain the \u201cbasis of the bargain\u201d clause as follows: \u201cTo prove an express warranty, a buyer must demonstrate that the two parties included the statements or acts in their bargain.\u201d Courts generally interpret \u201cbasis of bargain\u201d in one of two ways, either requiring a buyer to demonstrate that he or she relied on the seller\u2019s promises in making a purchase decision or assuming that a seller who makes a claim or promise\u2014in advertising, for example\u2014should be held liable for breach of warranty unless he or she can prove otherwise.\r\n\r\nNote that it\u2019s not necessary for a seller to use a term such as \u201cwarrant\u201d or \u201cguarantee\u201d to create an express warranty. However, if a seller is simply expressing his or her opinion of the goods, there is no promise or warranty.\r\n<h3>Implied Warranties<\/h3>\r\nImplied warranties are those created by the Uniform Commercial Code rather than a particular manufacturer or seller. There are two categories of implied warranty: warranty of merchantability, and warranty of fitness.\r\n\r\nUnless excluded or modified (if allowed, addressed below), a sales contract includes an implied warranty of \u201cmerchantability,\u201d defined as \u201cfit for the ordinary purpose for which such goods are used.\u201d Unlike express warranties, this warranty does not need to be in writing or otherwise communicated to the buyer\u2014it is an obligation imposed by the code. An implied warranty of merchantability does not apply to all sales. For it to apply, the seller must be \u201ca merchant with respect to goods of that kind.\u201d That is, the seller must be a person who regularly deals in such goods, or, due to his or her occupation or use of an agent, broker or other intermediary to whom knowledge or skill may be attributed, may be considered an expert or someone with \u201cknowledge or skill peculiar to the practices or goods involved in the transaction.\u201d\r\n\r\nAn implied warranty of fitness is created when a seller, at the time of contracting, has reason to know about a 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. Indeed, the full title of the relevant code (UCC 2-315) is \u201cImplied Warranty: Fitness for Particular Purpose.\u201d In brief, unless excluded or modified, the seller\u2019s knowledge of the particular use of the goods creates an implied warranty that the goods shall be fit for that purpose. As above and detailed below, a seller can exclude or modify a warranty of fitness as allowed by law.\r\n<div class=\"textbox tryit\">\r\n<h3>Practice Question<\/h3>\r\nhttps:\/\/assess.lumenlearning.com\/practice\/2dbe7923-1488-423b-b81c-7b48993e2f31\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/assess.lumenlearning.com\/practice\/1f0002bf-2965-4f12-a45b-323238049e98\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/assess.lumenlearning.com\/practice\/4da1da99-df8b-4ae8-9fac-6065d8cfc99d\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nThe following video explains one's legal rights under implied warranties.

A seller can disclaim an oral express warranty\u2014for example, statements made by a salesperson\u2014by including language in the contract that specifically states that the written contract represents the full extent of the warranty and that any statements made by company representatives are disclaimed and are not part of the contract. Written express warranties generally cannot be disclaimed. In particular, if warranty language is included in a sales contract, it cannot be disclaimed.\r\n\r\nNote that the UCC does not allow a seller to take contradictory positions in a document. For example, a sales contract can\u2019t include a description that creates a warranty in one section and disclaim warranties in another section. If the description and disclaimer are in two separate documents\u2014a brochure and sales contract, for example\u2014the disclaimer will be ruled void if a buyer would be \u201cunfairly surprised.\u201d That is, if a buyer read and relied on information in a brochure in making his or her purchase, the seller\u2019s attempt to disclaim the written warranty would most likely fail.\r\n\r\nA seller can generally disclaim an implied warranty by stating that a good has no warranty or that it is being sold \u201cas is.\u201d However, there are conditions and exceptions. In order to disclaim an implied warranty of merchantability, a seller must specifically use the word \"merchantability\" in the disclaimer, and the disclaimer must be conspicuous. For example, the disclaimer could be in bold or red type, or the contract could require the buyer to initial the disclaimer section. To disclaim or modify an implied warranty of fitness, the exclusion must be in writing and conspicuous. According to Cornell Law School, \u201cLanguage to exclude all implied warranties of fitness is sufficient if it states, for example, that \u2018There are no warranties which extend beyond the description on the face hereof.\u2019\u201d[footnote]\"\u00a7 2-316.
