(3) Upon the transfer of any special declarant right, the liabilities and obligations of a transferor are as follows:
(a) A transferor is not relieved of any obligation or liability arising before the transfer. Lack of privity does not deprive any owner of standing to bring an action to enforce any obligation of the transferor.
(b) If a transferor retains any special declarant right, or if a successor declarant is an affiliate of the transferor, the transferor is subject to liability for all obligations and liabilities imposed on a declarant by the provisions of ORS 94.550 to 94.783 or by the declaration or bylaws arising after the transfer and is jointly and severally liable with the successor declarant for the liabilities and obligations of the successor declarant that relate to the special declarant rights.
(c) A transferor who does not retain special declarant rights does not have an obligation or liability for an act or omission or for a breach of a contractual obligation arising from the exercise of a special declarant right by a successor declarant who is not an affiliate of the transferor.
(4) Upon transfer of any special declarant right, the liabilities and obligations of a successor declarant are as follows:
(a) A successor declarant who is an affiliate of the transferor is subject to all obligations and liabilities imposed on a declarant by the provisions of this chapter or by the declaration or bylaws.
(b) A successor declarant who is not an affiliate of the transferor is not liable for any misrepresentations or warranties made or required to be made by the declarant or previous successor declarant or for any breach of fiduciary obligation by such person. Such a successor declarant, however, shall comply with any provisions of the declaration and bylaws that pertain to such successor declarant’s ownership of the lot or lots and the exercise of any special declarant right.
