§ 2701 Collateral Contract Remedies

This law says that if you break any extra promise that comes with a sale contract, you can still get the usual help (like suing) even if other rules try to limit it.

Key Takeaways

  • •Side promises that come with a sale are still enforceable.
  • •You can get the normal remedies (like suing) for breaking those side promises.
  • •Other rules in the same division can't take away those remedies.

Example

A person sells a used bike and also promises to give a free safety check for a year. If the seller later refuses to do the safety check, the buyer can still sue for that broken promise.

Even though other parts of the law might try to limit what you can do, this rule makes sure the buyer can still get a remedy for the broken side promise.
