(b) If a manufacturer or seller expressly represented that the computer product or computer service product would not manifest the computer date failure, this section does not apply.
(c) This section does not reduce a limitations period that applies to an action that accrues before the end of the limitations period under this section.
(d) This section does not extend the limitations period within which an action may be commenced under any other law.
