Commentary on Sections

Part 1: Consumer Contracts for Goods, Digital Content and Services

Chapter 3 Digital Content
What statutory rights are there under a digital content contract?
Section 38: No other requirement to treat term about quality or fitness as included

190.The section makes clear that no other terms about quality or fitness can be implied into the contract. Express terms (that is those that are expressly agreed and set out in the contract) about quality and fitness can be included. Furthermore, if another piece of legislation exists which implies terms into contracts for digital content, these too can be included in the contract (this section does not prevent those being included).
