Ohio § 1310.16

§ 1310.16.

(A) The benefit of a supplier's promises to the lessor under a supply contract and of

all express or implied warranties, including those of any third party provided in

connection with or as part of the supply contract, extends to the lessee to the extent

of the lessee's leasehold interest under a finance lease related to the supply contract

but is subject to the terms of the warranty and of the supply contract and all defenses

or claims arising from the terms. (B) The extension of the benefit of a supplier's promises and of warranties to the lessee

as provided in division (A) of this section does not do either of the following: (1) Modify the rights and obligations of the parties to the supply contract, whether

arising from the contract or otherwise; (2) Impose any duty or liability under the supply contract on the lessee. (C) Any modification or rescission of a supply contract by the supplier and the lessor

is effective between the supplier and the lessee unless, before the modification or

rescission, the supplier has received notice that the lessee has entered into a finance

lease related to the supply contract.  If the modification or rescission is effective between the supplier and the lessee,

the lessor is deemed to have assumed, in addition to the obligations of the lessor

to the lessee under the lease contract, promises of the supplier to the lessor and

warranties that were so modified or rescinded as they existed and were available to

the lessee before modification or rescission. (D) In addition to the extension of the benefit of the supplier's promises and of warranties

to the lessee under division (A) of this section, the lessee retains all rights that

the lessee may have against the supplier and that arise from an agreement between

the lessee and the supplier or under other law.
