this is only true, as long as the law does not prohibit the terms of 
agreement 1 to be part of agreement 2. 

If A is a manufacturer and B is a dealer, agreement 1 can limit the 
warranty to 6 months or even less. If C is a consumer, the law does 
not only prohibit any limitation of the minimum 24 months warranty, 
but also disables any term containing such limitation while the rest 
of agreement 2 is still valid. 

Of course it is correct, that if B is a dealer B must know the laws 
and his risks.
