Sec. 42a-2-312. Warranty of title and against infringement; buyer's obligation against infringement.
Official statutory text
(2) A warranty under subsection (1) will be excluded or modified only by specific language or by circumstances which give the buyer reason to know that the person selling does not claim title in himself or that he is purporting to sell only such right or title as he or a third person may have.
(3) Unless otherwise agreed a seller who is a merchant regularly dealing in goods of the kind warrants that the goods shall be delivered free of the rightful claim of any third person by way of infringement or the like but a buyer who furnishes specifications to the seller must hold the seller harmless against any such claim which arises out of compliance with the specifications.
Cited. 181 C. 592. Because there is no more important and fundamental warranty in any sale than warranty of title, very precise and unambiguous language must be used to exclude that warranty; seller's disclaimer was not sufficiently specific. 310 C. 375.
