In many legal systems, the doctrine of privity of contract, which traditionally states that only parties to a contract can sue or be sued on its terms, has been modified or exceptions have been made to allow consumers, who may not be the direct contracting parties (such as in cases involving manufacturers and end-users), to bring claims for issues like defects or misrepresentations. This is particularly true in consumer protection laws, which often allow the ultimate consumer to have rights or remedies against manufacturers or suppliers despite not being a party to the original contract.
