Final Answer : False, Explanation :  In many jurisdictions, the principle of caveat emptor (let the buyer beware) applies, meaning buyers are responsible for checking the quality and suitability of goods before a purchase is made. If defects are obvious, the buyer's reliance on the seller's misrepresentations may not be justifiable, as the buyer is expected to perform due diligence.
