Answer 1

To avoid liability for most implied warranties, Band Instruments should state in writing that the trombones are sold as is.

Option a

Step-by-step explanation:

Warranty is the obligation given by the seller to buyer concerning quality or title or condition or characteristics of the goods. Implied warranty can be said as legal term for assurances either written or oral regarding the product's fitness for purpose intended and merchantability.

In order to avoid this implied warranty sometimes the sellers try to sell the product "as is." To negate implied warranties effectively, seller have to follow the requirements of state law.

Example: In some states the disclaimer in written form and obvious language is required. Some states do not permit "as is" sales. Implied warranties cannot be disclaimed when there is an express written warranty that comes with the product.

So, here the Band Instruments, Inc., would state in written form that the trombones are sold as is.
