This document presents information on conditions and warranties in contracts for the sale of goods. It defines conditions as essential stipulations and warranties as collateral stipulations made at the time of sale. Breach of a condition allows the buyer to rescind the contract and claim damages, while breach of a warranty only permits damages. Conditions and warranties can be express or implied. The key implied conditions relate to title, description, quality/fitness, wholesomeness, and samples. Implied warranties guarantee quiet possession and freedom from encumbrances. The main difference between conditions and warranties is their importance in the contract and the consequences of breach.
