Sec. 42a-2A-503. Express warranties to lessee.
Official statutory text
(b) To create an express warranty, it is not necessary that the lessor use formal words such as “warranty” or “guaranty” or have a specific intention to make a warranty. However, a representation merely of the value of the goods or an affirmation purporting to be merely the lessor's opinion or commendation of the goods does not create an express warranty under subsection (a) of this section.
(c) A representation, including a representation made in any medium of communication to the public, such as advertising, which was made to the lessee and which relates to the goods becomes part of the basis of the bargain unless:
(1) The lessee knew that the representation was not true;
(2) A reasonable person in the position of the lessee would not believe that the representation was part of the agreement; or
(3) In the case of a representation made in a medium for communication to the public, including advertising, the lessee did not know of the representation at the time of the agreement.
(d) A right of action for breach of warranty under this section accrues as provided under subsection (c) of section 42a-2A-715 .
