Buyer Acceptance Bars Claim for Unwarranted Hidden Defect
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA dispute arose concerning a contract for the sale of goods where the buyer accepted delivery but later sought to annul the sale based on the discovery of a defect, claiming the seller was unaware of it, leading the court to consider whether the buyer's acceptance precluded later claims regarding hidden defects. The court upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that the stipulation in the contract excluding the seller's guarantee against hidden defects was valid and enforceable, provided the seller had acted in good faith and was genuinely unaware of the vices affecting the sold goods, thus binding the buyer to the terms of acceptance despite the subsequent discovery of the flaw.
