Caveat Emptor

Caveat Emptor is a Latin phrase that translates to “let the buyer beware” and is a legal principle that places the responsibility on buyers to exercise caution, diligence, and due diligence when purchasing goods or services. Under the caveat emptor doctrine, sellers are not obligated to disclose all information or defects about their products, and buyers are expected to assess the quality, suitability, and risks associated with their purchases independently. Caveat emptor is often invoked in contractual agreements and consumer protection laws.
