DOCTRINE OF CAVEAT EMPTORCaveat emptor means let the buyer be aware
According to the doctrine of caveat emptorit is the dutyof buyer to be careful while purchasing goods of hisrequirement and the seller is not bound to disclose everydefect in goods of which he may be cognisant.
While making purchase the buyer depends on his ownskills and makes a bad choice and hence he cant hold theseller liable for the same, as there is no impliedundertaking by the seller.
