Sec. 42a-2A-508. Extension of express or implied warranty. (a) In a consumer
lease contract, a lessor's express or implied warranty made to an immediate consumer
lessee extends to any member of the family or household or an invitee to the household
of the immediate consumer lessee or a transferee from the immediate consumer lessee
who may reasonably be expected to use or be affected by the goods and who suffers
damage other than injury to the person resulting from a breach of warranty. The lessor
may not disclaim, modify or limit damages arising under this section.
(b) A lessor's warranty, whether express or implied, extends to any individual who
may reasonably be expected to use, consume or be affected by the goods and who is
injured in person by breach of the warranty. A lessor may not disclaim or limit the
operation of this subsection.
(c) Nothing in this article diminishes the rights and remedies of any third party
beneficiary or assignee under the law of contracts or of persons to which goods are
transferred by operation of law or displaces any other law that extends a warranty to or
for the benefit of any other person.
(d) The scope of any warranty extended under this section to other than the immediate lessee and the remedies for breach of such warranty may be limited by the enforceable
terms of the contract between the lessor and the immediate lessee. To the extent not
limited:
(1) The scope of the warranty is determined by sections 42a-2A-402, 42a-2A-403,
42a-2A-404 and 42a-2A-405; and
(2) The remedies for breach of warranty for other than the immediate lessee are
determined by the terms of the contract between the lessor and the lessee and by this
article.
(e) A right of action for breach of warranty under this section accrues under section
42a-2A-705.
