- Implied Warranty of Merchantability
- Except in a finance lease, a warranty that the goods will be merchantable is implied in a lease contract if the lessor is a merchant with respect to goods of that kind.
- Goods to be merchantable must be at least such as:
- Pass without objection in the trade under the description in the lease agreement;
- In the case of fungible goods, are of fair average quality within the description;
- Are fit for the ordinary purposes for which goods of that type are used;
- Run, within the variation permitted by the lease agreement, of even kind, quality, and quantity within each unit and among all units involved;
- Are adequately contained, packaged, and labeled as the lease agreement may require; and
- Conform to any promises or affirmations of fact made on the container or label.
Other implied warranties may arise from course of dealing or usage of trade.
