Re: NC ( As Is Warrenty Law )?

Hmmm. That's a peculiar question. Generally speaking, the expression "as is" means there is no warranty. Under the law pertaining to the "sale" of "goods," there are certain implied warranties (e.g. implied warranty of merchantability). These implied warranties can be disclaimed by certain language, which generally must be "conspicuous" etc. The expression "as is," however, is generally sufficient to disclaim these warranties. It should also be noted that the existence of a warranty depends on the context; e.g. the sale of goods, the provision of services, the sale of a new home. Each of these has different ramifications. We therefore really need more facts to answer this question.
