Caveat Emptor is a Latin phrase which means "let the buyer beware".

What it implies is that it is the purchaser's duty to ensure that an item they are buying is right for them, and that it will do the job.

In the days before consumer legislation was passed in many countries, the seller of an item was under no legal obligation to the customer if the item was faulty, or if it didn't do what the seller claimed it could.
