This book was released on 2002-06-13 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the volume of international business transactions continues to grow dramatically, and as trade relations develop between an ever-increasing number of countries, it is inevitable that many questions of comparative business risk and liability should arise. What common elements underlie the various methods of limiting product liability applied in different national jurisdictions? How do different legal regimes protect the legitimate rights of consumers? These were the fundamental questions addressed by a well-attended seminar on warranties and disclaimers held within the framework of the 2000 Annual Conference of the International Bar Association in Amsterdam. The seminar--jointly sponsored by IBA Committees S (Products, Liability, Advertising, Unfair Competition and Consumer Affairs), M (International Sales and Related Commercial Transactions) and CC (Corporate Counsel)--consisted of four introductory summaries and 33 country reports by local practitioners. The presentations focused on many important issues, including the following: legal and contractual warranties in contracts for the supply of goods or services between manufacturers, distributors and end-users; methods of communicating disclaimers and limitations of liability; strategies for securing limitations of liability downstream; and variations in the legal effectiveness of disclaimers and limitations. This wealth of material has been compiled and reproduced in this remarkably useful book. Business lawyers will find its insights immensely valuable, whether they are drafting contracts or dealing with potential or actual liabilities virtually anywhere in the world.

Book excerpt: The law of warranty disclaimers has failed to keep pace with the proliferation and growing acceptance of quot;rollingquot; or quot;layeredquot; contracts. Courts have not adequately addressed or resolved this tension and have failed to articulate an appropriate test for assessing these disclaimers in rolling contracts. This Article provides a flexible test based on language in Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code that validates certain disclaimers quot;unless the circumstances indicate otherwise.quot; The test would enable a trier of fact to find a disclaimer ineffective if the nature of the transaction is such that it puts the buyer off guard as to the existence or effect of a disclaimer. To illustrate the value of this test, the Article applies the test to the critical issue of disclaimers in rolling contracts involving consumer purchases. The Article concludes that although it may be appropriate to provide some terms only after purchase or order, a warranty disclaimer in a consumer purchase is not such a term. A consumer typically expects that, although the seller may provide some minor terms after purchase, all the key product information will be presented quot;up frontquot; in the transaction. A disclaimer of the implied warranty of merchantability should be considered just such key product information. Thus, when a purchase or order passes without disclosure of a disclaimer, a consumer is likely to be put off guard as to the existence or effect of a disclaimer disclosed afterwards. In short, sellers should generally not be able to quot;rollquot; warranty disclaimers into consumer transactions.
