Contracts
In Arizona, a contract to sell real property 'as is' where the seller conceals a known defect is:
AFully enforceable since the buyer accepted the as-is condition
BPotentially fraudulent—the 'as is' clause does not protect sellers who knowingly conceal defects✓ Correct
CEnforceable only if the buyer had an inspection opportunity
DFully protected by the as-is clause
Explanation
An 'as-is' clause does not shield a seller who knowingly conceals material defects. Fraudulent concealment of known defects can make the contract voidable and expose the seller to damages, regardless of the as-is language.
