1. For example, I bought a handmade puzzle from my friend Lee.

When I got home the

puzzle looked good and nothing seemed wrong. But when I started putting the puzzle
together, I noticed that some pieces were missing and some did not fit well. Lee is then
liable for the defects of the puzzle because I was not aware of the defects.

2. I plan to run a marathon but I don’t have the right shoes. So I go to the Nike store and
tell the salesman I need running shoes. In this situation, there is an implied warranty of
fitness because I expressly manifested to the seller why I wanted to buy the shoes. If
ever the shoes fall apart even before I start running, Nike is liable for the defect.

3. Ava is scrolling through Lazada for a birthday present for Bob. She searches for manga
books because Bob likes reading them. The description on the listing said that the texts
were in English but when the book arrived the texts were all in Japanese. Therefore the
seller is liable for the hidden defects because Ava bought the book by the description in
the listing.

4. No, the buyer cannot sue the seller for the defect because it was not hidden and is not of
great importance or seriousness.

5. Article 1576 is a rule especially applicable to animals. A redhibitory defect is a defect in

the article sold against which defect the seller is bound to warrant. To be considered
redhibitory the defect must be hidden and be of such nature that expert knowledge is not
sufficient to discover it. However, the ignorance of the veterinarian to discover the defect
makes him liable for damages. In Article 1580, the vendee has the same right mentioned
in Article 1176, to bring at his option, either a redhibitory action or an action quanti
minoris and must be brought within 40 days from the date of the delivery of the animals
to the vendee
