Ambiguous sale terms?
On the front of a sale document, buyer's and seller's names, article purchased etc etc are boxes, 1, 2 or 3 year signifying how many years the guarantee runs for. Box 3 is ticked.
*Printed* on the reverse and not qualified in any way it reads that the battery (c.£140) is guaranteed for 1 year only.
As an academic point at this stage, did I read somewhere that in the event of ambiguity the advantage lies with the buyer?

The device is guaranteed for 3 years, the battery (a consumable) is guaranteed for 1. Some cars come with a three, five or seven year warranty, but I don't think anyone would be confused to discover that that doesn't apply to the tyres, battery, oil filters, etc.

Goods must correspond with their description is now contained within the sale of goods act 1979 as amended, but as early as 1921 the Court of appeal found that the buyer of 3,000 tins of fruit could reject the consignment as they were not packed in the way that had originally been described (Moore & Landaver
