(a) Any affirmation of fact or promise that relates to the unit, its use or rights appurtenant thereto, improvements to the common-interest community that would directly benefit the unit or the right to use or have the benefit of facilities not located in the common-interest community creates an express warranty that the unit and related rights and uses will conform to the affirmation or promise;

(b) Any model or description of the physical characteristics of the common-interest community, including plans and specifications of or for improvements, creates an express warranty that the common-interest community will reasonably conform to the model or description;

(c) Any description of the quantity or extent of the real estate comprising the common-interest community, including plats or surveys, creates an express warranty that the common-interest community will conform to the description, subject to customary tolerances; and

(d) A provision that a purchaser may put a unit only to a specified use is an express warranty that the specified use is lawful.

2.  Neither formal words, such as ‘warranty’ or ‘guarantee,’ nor a specific intention to make a warranty is necessary to create an express warranty of quality, but a statement purporting to be merely an opinion or commendation of the real estate or its value does not create a warranty.

3.  Any conveyance of a unit transfers to the purchaser all express warranties of quality made by previous sellers.

4.  A warranty created by this section may be excluded or modified by agreement of the parties.
