But here is the funny thing. A [[representation]], as as every student of the law knows, is a [[pre-contractual statement]] in reliance upon which a merchant enters the {{t|contract}}. It is not a ''term'' of the {{csaprov|contract}} — that would be a [[warranty]].

A [[representation]] relies on the representor having heard it and relied on it ''before'' entering into the contract. A [[warranty]] is coded into the contract. By coding the representee’s [[acknowledgement]] into the act of signing the contract — its [[acceptance]] of it — you convert a pre-contractual skirmish into a fully fledged [[warranty]].
