1. 1. If the declaration for a condominium provides that any of the powers described in section 448.3-102 are to be exercised by or may be delegated to a profit or not for profit corporation or unincorporated association which exercises those or other powers on behalf of one or more condominiums or for the benefit of the unit owners of one or more condominiums, all provisions of sections 448.1-101 to 448.4-120 applicable to unit owners' associations apply to any such corporation or unincorporated association, except as modified by this section.
2. 2. Unless a master association is acting in the capacity of an association described in section 448.3-101, it may exercise the powers set forth in subdivision (2) of subsection 1 of section 448.3-102 only to the extent expressly permitted in the declarations of condominiums which are part of the master association or expressly described in the delegations of power from such condominiums to the master association.
3. 3. If the declaration of any condominium provides that the executive board may delegate certain powers to a master association, the members of the executive board have no liability for the acts or omissions of the master association with respect to those powers following delegation.
