Explanation

Caveat emptor (let the buyer beware) has several exceptions where it doesn't apply: when the seller relies on the buyer's purpose (fitness), when goods are sold under patent/trade name (implied condition of merchantability may not apply), or where usage of trade creates implied terms. In these cases, the seller has certain obligations that override caveat emptor.
