Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose arises under the UCC if the seller is a merchant who deals in goods of the kind sold. In this scenario, Regional Wood Products Company is selling lumber, which indicates that they deal in goods of that kind. Additionally, Sylvia has made known the purpose for which she will use the goods, which means that the warranty of fitness for that specific purpose is implied by law. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because the buyer's reliance on the seller to select the suitable goods is relevant to the implied warranty of merchantability, not fitness for a particular purpose. Option B is incorrect because a buyer's request for a warranty of fitness is not necessary for it to arise under the UCC. Option D is incorrect because the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose is applicable to both sales and lease contracts.
