<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 341824, member: 4626&quot;]See above.&nbsp; If the seller provided something other than what what promised in the contract, that&#039;s a misrepresentation.&nbsp; That is one of the ways a contract can be invalidated.&nbsp; At that point the buyer no longer has any contractual obligations to the seller.&nbsp; I&#039;d have a hard time believing that the author you mentioned would disagree.&nbsp; (As for any argument of &quot;it doesn&#039;t always work that way,&quot; see my comment on the subjective nature of interpreting the law.&nbsp; However in this specific example, it would be very easy to make a convincing argument of misrepresentation by the seller, rendering the contract void.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Read here for more information on contracts:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And also here, for detailed information on misrepresentation:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misrepresentation" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misrepresentation" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misrepresentation</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(And yes, I know a lot of people turn their nose up at Wikipedia, but this article is well sourced and contains many citations that show law and case history as sources for the article.&nbsp; If there&#039;s anything in there you can prove to be wrong, and have the source to prove it, feel free to say so, and go ahead and edit the article to reflect that.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway I&#039;m done here... don&#039;t take my failure to respond to anything further in this thread as a concession by me that I&#039;m wrong.&nbsp; Believe what you like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
