b. the defendant failed to prove an intent to defraud or reliance and so the company was not liable
c. since the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act supplements the definition of common law fraud there was no need to prove an intent to defraud or reliance and the company was liable
d. the home owner did not maintain his air conditioning system properly, so the warranty was void and the company not liable
