Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the general 'as seen' disclaimer excluded reliance on a basic mistake about the boat's year of construction.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. A general disclaimer does not bar reliance on a basic mistake where the seller expressly stated the year of construction and the buyer could treat it as a warranted characteristic.
Extrahierte Begründung
A disclaimer does not cover expressly assured characteristics unless it clearly says the seller will not stand by such statements. The contract and insurance documents expressly indicated 1982, so the buyer was entitled to rely on that assurance.
