A prospective buyer who contracts for the testing may receive the results of that testing. The furnishing of test results and evidence of mitigation or treatment is not to be construed as a promise, warranty, or representation of any sort by the seller or the seller's agent that the test results are accurate or that the mitigation or treatment is effective. This section does not create a contingency on the purchase of the property or any right to rescind a contract for purchase unless the contingency or right to rescind is an express term of the applicable contract.
(3) A seller or seller's agent who complies with subsections (1) and (2) is not liable in any action based on the presence of radon gas or radon progeny in the building.
