What You'll Learn:

• 📘 Understanding Conditions & Warranties: Gain clarity on the distinction between conditions and warranties within a contract, and how they impact the transaction.
• ⏰ Stipulation as to Time: Learn about the significance of time in contracts and how it can affect the obligations of both parties.
• 🛍️ Identifying Conditions & Warranties in a Contract of Sale: Master the art of discerning the different types of stipulations in sales contracts and their legal implications.

• 🚫 Caveat Emptor: Understand the doctrine of 'buyer beware' and its limitations under the Sale of Goods Act.

Introduction:

In any sales transaction, the seller's statements or representations play a crucial role in influencing the buyer's decision to purchase goods. These representations can concern the nature, quality, or fitness of the goods for a specific purpose. When such statements form part of the contract, they become legally binding and are known as stipulations.

Among these stipulations, some are integral to the main purpose of the contract, while others are less critical. The Sale of Goods Act, 1930, distinguishes between these by classifying them into 'conditions' and 'warranties'.

Conditions vs. Warranties:

• Conditions are stipulations that are essential to the main purpose of the contract. A breach of a condition typically allows the non-breaching party to treat the contract as repudiated or to claim damages.
• Warranties, on the other hand, are less critical stipulations. A breach of a warranty entitles the non-breaching party to claim damages but does not allow them to repudiate the contract.

Section 12: Conditions & Warranties Defined

According to the Sale of Goods Act, a stipulation in a contract of sale can be either a condition or a warranty (Section 12). A condition is a stipulation which goes to the root of the contract, while a warranty is a lesser promise.

Summary:

As you engage with this course, you'll understand that contracts of sales involve stipulations that are critical to the agreement's intent ('conditions') and those that are secondary in nature ('warranties'). Knowing the difference between these two is essential for navigating business transactions and understanding the legal implications of contract breaches.

The Sale of Goods Act also implies certain conditions or warranties by law, and these are crucial for ensuring consumer protection and fair trade practices. The 'buyer beware' doctrine has exceptions, particularly when there is an expectation of fitness for a specific purpose or when the goods are sold by sample or approval.
