Standard terms and conditions in sale of goods contracts
Warranties and breach of warranty, e.g. fitness for purpose
Different warranties play a major role in the sale of goods. Implied warranties are such warranties which don’t need to be expressed but which the law implies. Some of these types of warranties would include warranties of title, fitness for a particular purpose, and quality or merchantability. Many times the application of the latter two types of warranties depends upon the type of sale (for example sales by sample) and whether the seller is a merchant acting in the course of business. Express warranties are warranties which are specifically stated either in writing or orally, as the case may be. Under many statutory provision, an express warranty cannot negate an implied warranty of the relevant legislation. A common feature of legislation governing the sale of goods is to restrict the ability to limit warranty liability through exclusion or disclaimer in the contract.
