(1)   Words or conduct relevant to the creation of an express warranty and
words or conduct tending to negate or limit warranty shall be construed
wherever reasonable as consistent with each other; but subject to the
provisions of this title on parol or extrinsic evidence (§ 2-202)
negation or limitation is inoperative to the extent that such
construction is unreasonable.
  (2)   Subject to subsection (3), to exclude or modify the implied warranty of
merchantability or any part of it the language must mention
merchantability and in case of a writing must be conspicuous, and to
exclude or modify any implied warranty of fitness the exclusion must be
by a writing and conspicuous. Language to exclude all implied
warranties of fitness is sufficient if it states, for example, that
"There are no warranties which extend beyond the description on the
face hereof."
  (3)   Notwithstanding subsection (2)
    (a)   Unless the circumstances indicate otherwise, all implied warranties are
excluded by expressions like "as is," "with all faults" or
other language which in common understanding calls the buyer's
attention to the exclusion of warranties and makes plain that there is
no implied warranty; and
    (b)   When the buyer before entering into the contract has examined the goods
or the sample or model as fully as he desired or has refused to examine
the goods there is no implied warranty with regard to defects which an
examination ought in the circumstances to have revealed to him; and
    (c)   An implied warranty can also be excluded or modified by course of
dealing or course of performance or usage of trade.
  (4)   Remedies for breach of warranty can be limited in accordance with the
provisions of this title on liquidation or limitation of damages and on
contractual modification of remedy (§§ 2-718 and 2-719).
