to the goods and becomes part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty
that the goods shall conform to the affirmation or promise. (2) Any description of the goods which is made part of the basis of the bargain creates
an express warranty that the goods shall conform to the description. (3) Any sample or model which is made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express
