Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement about the court's discretion to add an implied term to the contract is true. Even if a term would make the contract fairer for one party, the court may not add it if it goes against the express terms of the contract or if it would fundamentally alter the agreement. The other statements are incorrect. A) The sales manager's statement would likely be considered a sales puffery and not have legally binding effect on the strict terms of the contract. B) The Sale of Goods Act warranty terms may be implied into the contract without need for specific reference or repetition. C) Both parties are bound by the terms of the contract regardless of whether or not they read them. E) The golden rule of contract interpretation does not work in favor of the party that drafted the contract. Instead, it is used to interpret ambiguous terms in a manner that reflects the true intentions of both parties.
