Section 42a-2A-502 - Warranty against interference and against infringement; lessee's obligation against infringement(a) Except in a finance lease, a lessor in a lease contract warrants that, except for claims by any person by way of infringement or the like, for the duration of the lease no person holds:(1) A claim to or interest in the goods which will interfere with the lessee's enjoyment of the lessee's leasehold interest; or(2) A colorable claim to or interest in the goods which will unreasonably expose the lessee to litigation.(b) A finance lessor warrants that, except for claims by way of infringement or the like, for the duration of the lease no person holds:(1) A claim or interest in the goods that arose from an act or omission of the lessor which will interfere with the lessee's enjoyment of the lessee's leasehold interest; or(2) A colorable claim to or interest in the goods that arose from an act or omission of the lessor which will unreasonably expose the lessee to litigation.(c) Except in a finance lease, a lessor that is a merchant regularly dealing in goods of the kind warrants that the goods will be delivered free of the rightful claim of a third party by way of infringement or the like. However, a lessee that furnishes specifications to the lessor holds the lessor harmless against any claim of infringement or the like that arises out of compliance with the specifications.(d) A warranty under subsections (a) to (c), inclusive, of this section may be disclaimed or modified only by specific language or by circumstances that give the lessee reason to know that the lessor purports to transfer only such right as the lessor or a third party may have.Conn.
