KRS 355.2A-214: Exclusion or modification of warranties.

Read at publisher ↗
Where this section sits in the code

    (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 KRS

    355.2A-202 on parol or ex trinsic 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 (KRS

    355.2A-211) or any part of it, 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.
