    Applying Colorado's version of § 2-207 to find that warranty disclaimer in standard terms referenced via external hyperlink in seller's acceptance "materially alter[ed]" the parties' contract and were thus not incorporated

    Under Georgia law, an express warranty is a representation made by a seller of goods, contemporaneously with and as part of the contract of sale, having reference to the character, quality, or title, by which the seller "promises or undertakes to insure that certain facts shall be as he then represents them." N. Ga. Ready Mix Concrete Co. v. L & L Constr., Inc., 508 S.E.2d 722, 726 (Ga. App. 1998). The decisive test, in determining whether language used is a mere expression of opinion or a warranty, is whether the language purported to state a fact upon which it may be fairly presumed the seller expected the buyer would ordinarily rely.

L & L Const., Inc., 235 Ga.App. 68, 72 (1998). This is consistent with Georgia's commercial code, which provides that an express warranty can be created by “[a]ny affirmation of fact or promise made by the seller to the buyer which relates to the goods and becomes part of the basis of the bargain” or “[a]ny description of the goods which is made part of the basis of the bargain.”

L & L Const., Inc. , 235 Ga.App. 68, 508 S.E.2d 722, 726 (1998) (finding that any description of goods that form the basis for a bargain creates an express warranty).

See North Georgia Ready Mix Concrete Co. v. L L Constr., Inc., 508 S.E. 2d 722, 726 (Ga. Ct. App. 1998). The Court, therefore, grants Defendants' Motion to Dismiss the breach of express and implied warranty claims as pled in Counts IV and V.
