Good- Nite Inns, a chain of mid- quality hotels, entered into a contract with Hospitality Supply Company (HSC) for the purchase of soaps. Those soaps were intended to be provided to customers of the hotel. Shortly after receiving the first delivery, however, Good- Nite Inns discovered that the soaps caused a dry, itchy rash on even the most thick- skinned customers. The hotel chain therefore wants to sue HSC under the Sale of Goods Act. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) There is no implied term of fitness for purpose if Good- Nite Inns relied upon the soaps' brand name when it placed its order.
B) If Good- Nite Inns selected the soaps from amongst 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.
C) 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.
D) The Sale of Goods Act does not apply because the contract was created between two companies.
E) 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 amongst a variety of samples.
