Contracts
Which of the following best describes an 'as-is' clause in a purchase contract?
AThe seller guarantees all systems are in working condition
BThe buyer accepts the property in its current condition and waives the right to request repairs✓ Correct
CThe seller is exempt from all disclosure requirements
DThe buyer waives the right to conduct an inspection
Explanation
An 'as-is' clause means the buyer accepts the property in its present condition and agrees not to request repairs from the seller. However, sellers are still required to complete the disclosure statement and disclose known defects; an as-is clause does not eliminate the seller's disclosure obligations.
