the Uniform Commercial Code provides that when a merchant sells goods, he or she warrants that the goods will comply with the following requirements, EXCEPT:
to pass without objection in the trade under the contract description.
being unfit for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are sold.
conforming with the promises or statements of fact made on the container or label.
be adequately contained, packaged, and labeled as the agreement may require.
I believe its #2. Being unfit.
Right.
You're correct! The answer is option #2: "being unfit for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are sold." This is the requirement that is NOT provided by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) when a merchant sells goods.
To arrive at the answer, we can break down the given options and examine the provisions within the UCC:
1. "To pass without objection in the trade under the contract description": According to the UCC, when a merchant sells goods, they warrant that the goods will be able to pass without objection in the trade under the contract description. This means that the goods should meet the standards and specifications mentioned in the contract.
2. "Being unfit for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are sold": This option is incorrect because the UCC does indeed provide a warranty that goods are fit for their ordinary purposes. It means that when a merchant sells goods, they warrant that those goods will be suitable for the typical use for which they are intended.
3. "Conforming with the promises or statements of fact made on the container or label": The UCC ensures that the goods sold by a merchant will comply with the promises or statements made on the container or label. This means that if the container or label of the goods includes any promises or statements of fact, the goods must meet those specifications.
4. "Be adequately contained, packaged, and labeled, as the agreement may require": The UCC provides that goods sold by a merchant should be adequately contained, packaged, and labeled as required by the agreement. This means that the goods should be packaged and labeled in accordance with any specific requirements mentioned in the contract.
In summary, while the UCC provides the warranty for all of the options except for being unfit for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are sold, option #2 is indeed incorrect.
