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.

(iii) Sale and contract for work and labour: A contract of sale of goods is one in which some sold or are to be sold for a price. But where no goods are sold, and there is only the doing or rende of some work of labour, then the contract is only of work and labour and not of sale of goods.

Even this implied condition will not apply if the goods have been sold under a trademark patent name. Example 1: 'A' bought a set of false teeth from 'B', a dentist. But the set was not fit for 'A's mout rejected the set of teeth and claimed the refund of price. It was held that A was entitled to do so a only purpose for which he wanted the set of teeth was not fulfilled. Example 2: 'A'went to 'B's shop and asked for a 'Merrit' sewing machine.

Condition as to Merchantability [Section 16(2)]: Where goods are bought by description fr seller who deals in goods of that description (whether he is the manufacturer or producer or not). is an implied condition that the goods shall be of merchantable quality. Provided that, if the buyer has examined the goods, there shall be no implied condition as re defects which such examination ought to have revealed. The expression "merchantable quality", though not defined, nevertheless connotes goods a a quality and in such a condition a man of ordinary prudence would accept them as goods description. It does not imply any legal right or legal title to sell. Example 1: If a person orders motor horns from a manufacturer of horns, and the horns suppl Scratched and damaged owing to bad packing, he is entitled to reject them as unmerchantable Example 2: A bought a black velvet cloth from C and found it to be damaged by white ants.
