Question

caveat emptor The best rule to keep in mind when buying anything from a pushcart is: “Caveat emptor.” ˈkeɪviˌæt ˈɛmptər

Accepted Answer

Let the buyer beware. “Without a warranty, the buyer must take the risk” is the basic meaning of the phrase caveat emptor. In the days when buying and selling was carried on in the local marketplace, the rule was a practical one. Buyer and seller knew each other and were on equal footing. The nature of modern commerce and technology placed the buyer at a disadvantage, however, so a stack of regulations have been written by federal, state, and local agencies to protect the consumer against dangerous or defective products, fraudulent practices, and the like. But the principle that a buyer needs a warranty if he is to avoid risk remains an important legal concept. Note that a caveat is a small warning or explanation intended to avoid misinterpretation
