A) There is no implied term of fitness for purpose because, given the nature of its business, Good-Nite Inns should know enough about its customers to select the correct soaps.

C) Good-Nite Inns may be able to rely upon an implied term of merchantability even if it placed its order after selecting the soaps from among a variety of samples.
D) If Good-Nite Inns selected the soaps from among a variety of samples, HSC may be held liable even if the hotel chain would have discovered the defect in the soaps if it had reasonably inspected the soaps before creating the contract.
E) The Sale of Goods Act does not apply because the contract was created between two companies.
