As amended by the Sale of Goods Act 1994, the Act implies, inter alia, in contracts for the sale of goods by a business, that the seller promises that the goods will of satisfactory quality, will be as described and will be fit for purpose.

The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 restricts the exclusion or limitation of liability in relation to these terms depending on whether it is a consumer sale or a non-consumer sale.

Entered into by parties in a salvage situation. The salvor then acts under contract instead of voluntarily and so forfeits his rights to salvage charges.
