§ 336.2A-215 — Cumulation and Conflict of Warranties Express or Implied
Plain-Language Summary
Express warranties, implied warranties of merchantability, and fitness for particular purpose are construed as consistent when reasonable. If they conflict, express terms win, then fitness, then merchantability.
336.2A-215 CUMULATION AND CONFLICT OF WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
Warranties, whether express or implied, must be construed as consistent with each other and as cumulative, but if that construction is unreasonable, the intention of the parties determines 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.
