Asha Sells Bottled Spring Water

Question 14

Multiple Choice

Asha sells bottled spring water. Unlike other water vendors who purify their water, Asha is marketing her product to those who want to drink spring water in its natural state. Although her water source is pure and clean, she is concerned that some consumers might have allergic reactions to trace elements in the unpurified water, so she designs a clause to exclude her company from liability. The clause indicates that, by opening and drinking the water, consumers are indicating that they have read and understood the warning that the water has not been purified and, as such, waive all liability for any allergic reactions resulting from drinking the water.Which of the following is most likely TRUE of Asha's strategy?


A) It will succeed as long as the label on the bottle constitutes reasonable notice of the exclusion clause.
B) It will only succeed if the distributor personally points out to the consumer that by drinking the water they are waiving their right to sue.
C) Reasonable notice by itself is insufficient. The exclusion clause must also be written in clear and unambiguous language.
D) It will fail because it is never possible to exclude tort liability by way of contract.
E) none of the above
