Based on section 20, Private sellers or lessors, as opposed to retail sellers or lessors, can explicitly exempt themselves from ss 17, 18, and 19. A retail sale is defined as one in the “ordinary course of the seller or lessor’s business.” This is subject to the ''contra proferentum'' rule that such a clause, if ambiguous, is read strictly against the person relying on it.
