§ RS 9:1141.45. Express warranties of declarant
A. Express warranties made by a declarant to an unrelated purchaser, if relied upon by the unrelated purchaser, regardless of the delivery or receipt of a public offering statement, are created as follows:
(1) Any affirmation of fact or promise by the declarant that relates to the lot, its use, or rights appurtenant thereto; area improvements to the planned community that would directly benefit the lot; or the right to use or have the benefit of facilities not located in the planned community creates an express warranty that the lot and related rights and uses will conform to the affirmation or promise.
(2) A provision that a purchaser may put a lot only to a specified use is an express warranty that the specified use is lawful at the time that the warranty was made.
B. Neither formal words, such as "warranty" or "guarantee", nor a specific intention to make a warranty are necessary to create an express warranty of quality, but a statement purporting to be merely an opinion or commendation of the immovable property or its value does not create a warranty.
