Court | Georgia Supreme Court |
Syllabus by the Court.
1. Where a written contract for the sale of a machine specified the warranties undertaken by the seller, and stipulated that no warranties other than those expressly stated in the contract should be binding on him, he was not responsible for an additional warranty subsequently made by his agent; and upon the trial of an action brought by the seller against the purchaser for the price of the machine, evidence of such warranty made by the agent was inadmissible.
2. Where such a contract stipulated that: -- held, that upon the failure of the machine to work well, and failure of the seller, upon proper notice, to have it put in order, a notice by the purchaser to the agent of the seller that the machine was held subject to the seller's order was not a compliance with the terms of the contract, and did not relieve the purchaser from liability for the price of the machine, when it did not appear that the seller or his agent ever took possession or control of the machine in pursuance of such notice.
