Implied Warranty: Exclusion by Reason of Course of Dealing or Usage of Trade
An implied warranty can be excluded or modified by (a course of dealing or course of
performance) or (usage of the trade). This means that a warranty will not be implied if the
conduct of the parties by reason of a (course of dealing or course of performance) or (usage
of the trade) indicates that no warranty existed.
(A "course of dealing" is defined as a sequence of previous conduct between the
parties to a particular transaction which is fairly to be regarded as establishing a common
basis of understanding for interpreting their expressions and other conduct.)
(A "usage of trade" is defined as any practice or method of dealing having such
regularity or observance in a place, vocation, or trade as to justify an expectation that it will
be observed with respect to the transaction in question.)
