HRS §490:2-317
How different warranties work together
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section explains how to handle multiple warranties on a product. They usually all apply and must be consistent. If they conflict, the parties' intent decides which one wins, with specific rules for samples, descriptions, and express versus implied warranties.

The statute, as written — Cumulation and conflict of warranties express or implied
A copy, taken August 20, 2026. The version published by the Legislature is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
Warranties whether express or implied shall be construed as consistent with each other and as cumulative, but if such construction is unreasonable the intention of the parties shall determine which warranty is dominant. In ascertaining that intention the following rules apply: (a) Exact or technical specifications displace an inconsistent sample or model or general language of description. (b) A sample from an existing bulk displaces inconsistent general language of description. (c) Express warranties displace inconsistent implied warranties other than an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
