§ 11-2-313. Express Warranties by Affirmation, Promise, Description, Sample

Universal Citation: GA Code § 11-2-313 (2020)
  1. Express warranties by the seller are created as follows:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

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.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

ANALYSIS

  • Evidence

General Consideration

How warranties raised.

- Implied warranty is raised by statute, while express warranty is by contract. Stewart v. Gainesville Glass Co., 131 Ga. App. 747, 206 S.E.2d 857 (1974), aff'd, 233 Ga. 578, 212 S.E.2d 377 (1975).

A warranty is a statement of representation made by the seller of goods contemporaneously with and as a part of the contract of sale, though collateral to the express object of it, having reference to the character, quality, or title to the goods and by which the seller promises or undertakes to insure that certain facts are or shall be as the seller then represents them. North Ga. Ready Mix Concrete Co. v. L & L Constr., Inc., 235 Ga. App. 68, 508 S.E.2d 722 (1998).

Representation as to quality, character, or title.

- An express warranty is a representation or statement made by seller at time of sale and as a part thereof, having reference to quality, character, or title to goods, and is part of the transaction between seller and purchaser. Stewart v. Gainesville Glass Co., 131 Ga. App. 747, 206 S.E.2d 857 (1974), aff'd, 233 Ga. 578, 212 S.E.2d 377 (1975).

Test.

- Decisive test in determining whether language used is mere expression of opinion or warranty, is whether it purported to state fact upon which it may fairly be presumed seller expected buyer to rely, and upon which buyer would ordinarily rely. If language used is of that character, fact of reliance on part of buyer and presumption of intent on part of seller which the law would raise in such case would operate to create warranty. Bell v. Menzies, 110 Ga. App. 436, 138 S.E.2d 731 (1964); Moore v. Berry, 217 Ga. App. 697, 458 S.E.2d 879 (1995).

Failure to limit warranty made or to exclude any implied warranties may give rise to liability under either O.C.G.A. §§ 11-2-313 or11-2-314. Jones v. Cranman's Sporting Goods, 142 Ga. App. 838, 237 S.E.2d 402 (1977).

Express and implied warranties.

- A warranty may be express or implied; it is the former when created by the apt and explicit statements of the seller; it is the latter when the law derives it by implication or inference from the nature of the transaction or the relative situation or circumstances of the parties. North Ga. Ready Mix Concrete Co. v. L & L Constr., Inc., 235 Ga. App. 68, 508 S.E.2d 722 (1998).

Trial court erred in denying a corporation's motion for summary judgment on an individual's claim for breach of an express warranty when the individual's three-wheeled motorized scooter tipped over while the individual was operating the scooter in the individual's yard as the individual failed to present any evidence that the scooter was generally unsuitable for use on non-paved and sloped surfaces and, therefore, the individual had not identified any evidence that the scooter did not conform to a salesperson's description. Foothills Pharms., Inc. v. Powers, 313 Ga. App. 630, 722 S.E.2d 331 (2012).

Description of vehicle as new created express warranty. Horne v. Claude Ray Ford Sales, Inc., 162 Ga. App. 329, 290 S.E.2d 497 (1982).

Contract for sale of car describing it as new created express warranty to that effect, which was not negated by disclaimer of express warranties in same contract. Century Dodge, Inc. v. Mobley, 155 Ga. App. 712, 272 S.E.2d 502 (1980); Thompson v. Huckabee Auto Co., 190 Ga. App. 540, 379 S.E.2d 411 (1989).

Where a retail sales contract described a car as new, neither specific disclaimer of express or implied warranties nor "sold as is" language could negate the express warranty that the car was new. Rivers v. BMW of N. Am., Inc., 214 Ga. App. 880, 449 S.E.2d 337 (1994).

Error as to actual mileage of automobile.

- The defendant did not breach any express warranty concerning the actual mileage of an automobile where, at the time it made a statement regarding an odometer reading, it had no knowledge or any reason to believe that the true mileage differed from the mileage shown on the odometer. Charles Evans Nissan, Inc. v. Trussell Ford-Mazda, Inc., 200 Ga. App. 432, 408 S.E.2d 419, cert. denied, 200 Ga. App. 895, 408 S.E.2d 419 (1991).

Disclaimer in same contract.

- It is unreasonable to allow express warranty to be negated by disclaimer in same contract. Century Dodge, Inc. v. Mobley, 155 Ga. App. 712, 272 S.E.2d 502 (1980).

Contract for the sale of a used pickup truck contained a purported waiver of any express warranties; further, the alleged misrepresentations on which the buyer sought to rely, that the truck "was in good condition" and was "a good running truck with no problems," were mere statements of opinion or commendation of the goods. However, the buyer's claim for revocation of acceptance was for the jury. Villalobos v. Atlanta Motorsports Sales, LLC, 355 Ga. App. 339, 844 S.E.2d 212 (2020).

The issuance of certificates of title pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 40-3-28 of the motor vehicles law does not, as a matter of law, negate the existence of express or implied warranties of title which the seller gives the purchaser in the course of their dealings. Hudson v. Gaines, 199 Ga. App. 70, 403 S.E.2d 852 (1991).

No wrongful death action arises from breach of warranties absent negligence or criminal conduct. Miles v. Bell Helicopter Co., 385 F. Supp. 1029 (N.D. Ga. 1974).

Learned intermediary doctrine.

- Plaintiff's breach of warranty claims against a drug manufacturer to the extent the claims were based upon failure to provide accurate or sufficient information regarding the use of the drug to the decedent, were barred by the learned intermediary doctrine, but the claims were not barred to the extent the claims were based upon failure to provide accurate or sufficient information regarding the use of the drug to others. Lee v. Mylan Inc., 806 F. Supp. 2d 1320 (M.D. Ga. Apr. 15, 2011).

App. 188, 325 S.E.2d 794 (1984).

Applicability

Chattel leases.

- Provisions of O.C.G.A. § 11-2-313 are not applicable to all commercial chattel leases. Redfern Meats, Inc. v. Hertz Corp., 134 Ga. App. 381, 215 S.E.2d 10 (1975).

Warranty provisions of Uniform Commercial Code are applicable to chattel leases where transaction is analogous to sale. Redfern Meats, Inc. v. Hertz Corp., 134 Ga. App. 381, 215 S.E.2d 10 (1975).

Defect in instruction manual.

- O.C.G.A. § 11-2-313 does not go beyond physical goods to include freedom from defect in manual of instructions accompanying appliance. Reddick v. White Consol. Indus., Inc., 295 F. Supp. 243 (S.D. Ga. 1968).

Statements deemed not mere sales talk or opinion.

- Statements by defendant's sales clerk that a product was "probably the safest one on the market" and that there was "no way you [could] fall" from it were sufficient to create an express warranty. Moore v. Berry, 217 Ga. App. 697, 458 S.E.2d 879 (1995).

Statements deemed opinion or commendation.

- Sellers' statement that a horse would be a good show horse was a mere opinion, commendation, or puffing. Sheffield v. Darby, 244 Ga. App. 437, 535 S.E.2d 776 (2000).

Seller's opinions as to the working order of electrical components in a motor home and some other issues did not create a warranty. Gill v. Bluebird Wanderlodge & Holland Motor Homes, F. Supp. 2d (M.D. Ga. Feb. 4, 2004).

Privity between manufacturer and ultimate consumer.

- To the extent the plaintiff's express warranty claim against a drug manufacturer was based upon affirmations of fact or promises to the decedent, the plaintiff asserted a claim upon which relief could be granted because a manufacturer could extend an express warranty to the ultimate consumer. Lee v. Mylan Inc., 806 F. Supp. 2d 1320 (M.D. Ga. Apr. 15, 2011).

Medical device.

- In a case arising from surgical implantation of a medical device and the injuries sustained from the device's failure and removal, the plaintiff's claim for breach of express warranty was properly asserted because the manufacturer's limited warranty for the implantable pulse generator met the definition of an express warranty pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 11-2-313(1), and was not preempted under the Medical Device Amendments of 1976, 21 U.S.C. § 360c et seq. Cline v. Advanced Neuromodulation Sys., F. Supp. 2d (N.D. Ga. June 15, 2012).

Evidence

Admission of evidence of samples.

- Because there was no indication that the written contract was a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between the parties, and because the terms expressed by the sample did not contradict those in the written contract, the parol evidence rule did not prevent the admission of evidence of the peanut samples sent by the seller to describe what the buyer would receive in bulk shipment to provide a foundation for the claim against the seller for breach of express warranty by sample. Alimenta (U.S.A.), Inc. v. Anheuser-Busch Cos., 803 F.2d 1160 (11th Cir. 1986).

Parol evidence.

- A disclaimer of warranty in an equipment purchase contract barred any claim that the dealer made an express warranty that the equipment would be sold in "working" condition based on oral representations where the contract required that any warranty be contained in a separate writing. Stephens v. Crittenden Tractor Co., 187 Ga. App. 545, 370 S.E.2d 757 (1988).

Damages.

- In a consumer's suit against a car dealer for breach of an express warranty, regarding the sale of a used car which the dealer's salesman falsely represented had not been in a wreck, it was not error for the trial court to grant a directed verdict to the dealer because, while the salesman's representation was an express warranty, under O.C.G.A. § 11-2-313(1)(a), the consumer offered no probative evidence of damages. Mitchell v. Backus Cadillac-Pontiac, Inc., 274 Ga. App. 330, 618 S.E.2d 87 (2005).

Substantial repairs over three-year period.

- Trial court erred in entering summary judgment for a manufacturer on the owners' suit for breach of an express warranty where the owners made 22 trips to the dealership for repairs over a three-year period and, despite the replacement of multiple parts and extensive repairs to the vehicle, the problems continued, including: (1) that the check engine light and the fluid light came on; (2) that the radio's sound quality was inconsistent; (3) that there was engine hesitation and jerking; (4) that squeaking occurred on entering and exiting the vehicle; and (5) that the operation of the wiper blades was noisy. Hill v. Mercedes Benz USA, LLC, 274 Ga. App. 826, 619 S.E.2d 353 (2005).
