    Your doubt is a bit brief, so here are the implied conditions under the Sale of Goods Act, 1930. These terms are treated as part of the contract even if the parties never state them: 1. Title (Sec 14(a)): the seller has the right to sell the goods. 2. Description (Sec 15): goods must match the description given. 3. Sample (Sec 17): bulk must match the sample, and the buyer gets a chance to compare. 4. Description + sample (Sec 15): goods must match both. 5. Fitness for buyer's purpose (Sec 16(1)), merchantable quality (Sec 16(2)) and wholesomeness for eatables. They can be excluded by express agreement. If you meant a specific case or question, post it and I'll help!

What is the difference between a condition and a warranty?

A condition is a stipulation essential to the main purpose of the contract, and its breach allows repudiation. A warranty is collateral to the main purpose, and its breach gives only a right to claim damages.

Can implied conditions be excluded?

Yes, implied conditions can be negatived or varied by express agreement between the parties or by the course of dealing between them.

What does caveat emptor mean in a sale of goods?

It means 'let the buyer beware', so the buyer must examine the goods; the implied conditions of fitness and merchantable quality act as exceptions to this rule.

    Will Z succeed against X when agent Y exceeds his ₹10 lakh limit, and does Section 228 or 233 apply?

    BrunoAI answer

    Section 228 applies here, not Section 233. Z will not succeed against X. 1. Section 227: if the authorised part can be separated from the excess, the principal is bound only for the authorised part. 2. Section 228: if they cannot be separated, the principal is not bound at all. 3. Here Y bought a single item for ₹12 lakhs against a ₹10 lakh limit. One item cannot be split into ₹10 lakh plus ₹2 lakh, so X is not liable. The discount or benefit to X does not change this. 4. Z can recover from Y, who exceeded his authority. Z could also claim from X if X ratifies the purchase. Section 233 applies only where the agent is personally liable. Then the third party may sue the agent, the principal, or both. That is not the issue here.
