First, please read the facts carefully and identify all possible legal issues in the case. For example, Party A did XXX which will lead to YYY, thus Party A may lose the case because...// the case have a misrepresentation issue since Party A did Xx that lead Party B think Yy, then it cause B to making decision on Zz.

HYPO 1

Prime Locations, Inc. (PL) leased real property owned by Marshall. The lease required Marshall to build out the space to suit PL's needs in opening a restaurant in the space. To that end, Marshall retained Aerial Architects, LLC to prepare architectural drawings, SpecBuilt Construction to serve as the general contractor, and GXT New Orleans, LLC ("GXT") to provide mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design services. GXT also provided the engineering design for the HVAC system, which was then sent out for bidding by HVAC contractors. Steve's Air Conditioning & Heating, LLC ("Steve's A/C") was the prevailing bidder.

On October 24, 2016, pursuant to its winning bid, Steve's A/C contracted with Trane to supply the HVAC equipment for the project. The contract between Steve's A/C and Trane included Trane's standard terms and conditions, which are expressly incorporated into the sales agreement by the customer's acceptance of the equipment. Importantly, the terms and conditions included:

Trane U.S., Inc. ("Company') extends a limited, five-year warrantyagainst manufacturing defects for the Product(s) that are installed in a commercial facility and operated under normal use and maintenance in the United States and Canada.

REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS: All Products must be properly registered online by the Owner within sixty (60) days after the installation date to receive the limited warranty term. To register online, go to:

http://www.trane.com/Residential/For-Owners/Warranties or

and click "Begin Online Registration." If an Owner does not register within this stated time period, the limited warranty shall not apply.

WHO IS COVERED: This limited warranty is provided only to the Owner of the property where the Products are originally installed if the Products are properly registered online with 60 days after the Products are installed.

WHAT COMPANY WILL DO: As Company's only responsibility and Owner's only remedy under this limited warranty, Company will furnish a replacement part to a licensed HVACservice provider, without charge for the part only, to replace any Product part that fails due to a manufacturing defect under normal use and maintenance. The Owner must pay for any and all shipping and handling charges and other costs of warranty service for the replacement part.

ADDITIONAL TERMS: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN NEGLIGENCE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN LAW OR IN FACT.

COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,

STRICT LIABILITY OR NEGLIGENCE), PATENT INFRINGEMENT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

No action arising out of any claimed breach of this limited warranty may be brought by a Owner more than one (1) year after the cause of action has arisen.

In November 2017, when renovation of the space was completed, PL opened a restaurant there. In the spring of 2018, restaurant employees and customers noticed that the HVAC system did not operate properly, blowing cold air on cold days and hot air on hot days, instead of the reverse as was intended. In April 2019, PL complained to Marshall who complained to GXT who complained to Steve's A/C who complained to Trane. Trane representatives visited the property many times to correct the problem, but they were unsuccessful. PL finally hired Central Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. to repair the HVAC system. The repairs were successful, and PL paid Central Heating's bill.
