Answer:

End up losing because it is legally binding the clause that would limit the statute of limitations to 18 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Within UCC 2-725, in cases that involve the exchange of goods, a 4-year restriction law applies. The parties can reduce the duration to not less than 1 year (but not extend it).

When a delivery tender is made, an action for violation of warranty accrues (the statute begins to run).

However if the warranty specifically applies to future performance and violation disclosure must postpone that performance, the penalty will occur when the breach is discovered or should have been discovered.
