(1) A person may not bring an action for damages caused by a computer date failure unless the complaint in the action alleges with specificity a material defect in a computer product that caused the computer date failure and that caused the damages that are alleged to have resulted from the computer date failure.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an action for damages caused by a computer date failure may not be brought by any person later than two years from the date that the person discovered, or in the exercise of reasonable diligence should have discovered, that the computer product or computer service had experienced a computer date failure.
(3) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, a person must bring an action against a manufacturer or seller of a computer product or computer service for damages caused by a computer date failure no later than eight years after the product or the service was first purchased for use or consumption in this state. This subsection does not apply to a manufacturer or seller that expressly warranted that the product would not experience a computer date failure.
(4) If a manufacturer or seller of an item that contains a computer product expressly warranted to a person that the item had a useful safe life longer than eight years, the person must bring an action against the manufacturer or seller for damages caused by a computer date failure before the end of the time period warranted by the manufacturer or seller as the useful safe life of the item.
