    Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
    of Goods Act is intended to protect the buyer from having no recompense if the goods purchased are unsatisfactory in certain specific ways. For example, the goods must be of  "satisfactory quality", which indicates that they are free of defects, unless such defects have been pointed out at the time of sale and are therefore deemed to have been accepted  by the buyer. They must be fit for the purpose intended; this means that if the buyer has special requirements, these must be communicated to the seller. If the seller  is aware of such requirements, the onus is on him to provide goods which conform to them. The product must be as described; if there are certain statements made about  the product, then what the buyer receives must correspond to these statements.  The contract of sale usually incorporates both express and implied terms: the former often take the form of standard terms and conditions,  and it is the responsibility of the seller to draw the buyers attention to them. The latter are included in all contracts of sale. They state that the seller has  the right to part with the goods, and the buyer will be able to enjoy quiet possession of them; the goods will correspond to the description given of them; they  will be of satisfactory quality; that if the purpose of the purchase is known, the seller ensures that they will be fit for that purpose, and that if the buyer  has only been able to inspect a sample of the goods then the rest of the consignment will conform to the standards of that sample.
