The term "Caveat Emptor" means:
Let the seller beware
Let the buyer beware
Let the producer beware
Let the distributor beware
The correct answer is Option (2) → Let the buyer beware
Caveat Emptor is a Latin term meaning “Let the buyer beware.”
It implies that the buyer is responsible for checking the quality and suitability of goods before purchase.
Modern consumer protection laws, however, have shifted focus towards “Caveat Venditor” (Let the seller beware) to safeguard consumer interests.
