Example1: “The Buyer acknowledges that the property is being sold 'as is' with all faults and defects, whether known or unknown, presently existing or that may hereafter arise. The Seller makes no warranties or representations of any kind regarding the condition of the property.”
The Seller is selling this property in “As Is” condition. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer is accepting the Property “As Is” without any warranties, representations or guarantees, either expressed or implied, of any kind, nature or type whatsoever from or on behalf of the Seller.
