Explanation

 In the following cases, a contract is not avoided even on account of a breach of a condition:

1. Where the buyer altogether waives the performance of the condition, a party may for his own benefit, waive a stipulation; or 2. Where the buyer elects to treat the breach of the conditions, as one of a warranty. He may claim only damages instead of repudiating the contract; or 3. Where the contract is non-severable and the buyer has accepted either the whole goods or any part thereof. Acceptance means acceptance as envisaged in Section 72 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872.

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