WHEN CONDITION TO BE TREATED AS WARRANTY (SECTION 13) may condition or elect to treat the breach of the condition as a breach of warranty and not as a ground y

treating the contract as repudiated [Sub-section (1)]

Where a contract of sale is not severable and the buyer has accepted the goods or part thereof, the breaches any condition to be fulfilled by the seller can only be treated as a breach of warranty and not as a ground rejecting the goods and treating the contract as repudiated, unless there is a term of the contract, exp or implied to that effect. [Sub-section (2)]

Nothing in this section shall affect the case of any condition or warranty fulfilment of which is excused law by reason of impossibility or otherwise. [Sub-section (3)]

Analysis:

Section 13 specifies cases where a breach of condition be treated as a breach of warranty. As a result which the buyer loses his right to rescind the contract and can claim for damages only. In the following cases, a contract is not avoided even on account of a breach of a condition:

Where the buyer altogether waives the performance of the condition. A party may for his own bene waive a stipulation.

(i) Where the buyer elects to treat the breach of the conditions, as one of a warranty. That is to say, he ma

claim only damages instead of repudiating the contract.

Example: A agrees to supply B 10 bags of first quality sugar @ 625 per bag but supplies only sect quality sugar, the price of which is 600 per bag. There is a breach of condition and the buyer can rejec the goods. But if the buyer so elects, he may treat it as a breach of warranty, accept the second qui sugar and claim damages @ 25 per bag.

(Where the contract is non-severable and the buyer has accepted either the whole goods or any g thereof. Acceptance means acceptance as envisaged in Section 72 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872

(iv) Where the fulfillment of any condition or warranty is excused by law by reason of impossibility otherwise.
