Example Clause: “The Buyer acknowledges that they are purchasing the property in an 'As Is' condition. The Seller makes no representations or warranties concerning the property's condition, fitness for any particular purpose, or compliance with any laws or regulations.”
"As is" denotes that the seller is selling, and the buyer is buying an item in whatever condition it presently exists, and that the buyer is accepting the item "with all faults", whether or not immediately apparent.
