Warranties and Disclaimers

2-313
(1) Express warranties by the seller are created as follows: 
(a) Any affirmation of fact or promise made by the seller to the buyer which relates to the goods and becomes part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the goods shall conform to the affirmation or promise. 
(b) Any description of the goods which is made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the goods shall conform to the description. 
(c) Any sample or model which is made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the whole of the goods shall conform to the sample or model. 

(2) It is not necessary to the creation of an express warranty that the seller use formal words such as "warrant" or "guarantee" or that he have a specific intention to make a warranty, but an affirmation merely of the value of the goods or a statement purporting to be merely the seller's opinion or commendation of the goods does not create a warranty. 

2-314
(1) Unless excluded or modified (Section 2316), a warranty that the goods shall be merchantable is implied in a contract for their sale if the seller is a merchant with respect to goods of that kind. Under this section the serving for value of food or drink to be consumed either on the premises or elsewhere is a sale. 

(2) Goods to be merchantable must be at least such as 
(a) Pass without objection in the trade under the contract description; and 
(b) In the case of fungible goods, are of fair average quality within the description; and 
(c) Are fit for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are used; and 
(d) Run, within the variations permitted by the agreement, of even kind, quality and quantity within each unit and among all units involved; and 
e) Are adequately contained, packaged, and labeled as the agreement may require; and 
(f) Conform to the promises or affirmations of fact made on the container or label if any. 

(3) Unless excluded or modified (Section 2316) other implied warranties may arise from course of dealing or usage of trade. 

2-315
Where the seller at the time of contracting has reason to know any 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, there is unless excluded or modified under the next section an implied warranty that the goods shall be fit for such purpose.
