When a sale is subject to this warning the purchaser assumes the risk that the product might be either defective or unsuitable to his or her needs.This rule is not designed to shield sellers who engage in fruad or bad faith dealing by making false or misleading representations about the quality or condition of a particular product. It merely summarizes the concept that a purchaser must examine, judge, and test a product considered for purchase himself or herself.

The right to buy may or may not be exercised. The product may be property, shares, currency etc. The contract is generally advantageous to the buyer.  Legalities of a contract will apply.
