What is indicated by "caveat emptor"?

Let the buyer beware
Let the seller be cautious
Let the builder guarantee quality
Let the market dictate prices

The correct answer is: Let the buyer beware

The phrase "caveat emptor," which translates to "let the buyer beware," signifies that the responsibility lies with the buyer to investigate and ensure the quality and suitability of a product or service before making a purchase. This principle emphasizes that buyers should be diligent and perform due diligence to protect themselves from potential issues, such as defects or misrepresentations associated with an item or property. This concept is particularly relevant in transactions involving real estate or goods where the seller is not obligated to disclose all potential issues. By adhering to the idea of "caveat emptor," buyers accept that they hold the ultimate responsibility for any risks involved in the purchase.
