Chris bought a new six (6) cylinder truck from Inland Truck Sales (Inland) for $26,000 for the purpose of hauling paving stone for his landscaping business. The purpose for purchasing the truck was explained to the senior salesperson Slippery Sam (Sam) at Inland, and Chris relied on the salesman's representation that the truck would do the job. A contract was signed by Chris and Sam (Sam signing on behalf of Inland) that included an exemption clause contained in fine print on the back page of the contract that excused Inland from liability "arising from any breach of condition or warranty whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise".
