This article talks about express warranties. An express warranty is any claim of fact made by the seller
relating to the thing being sold in order to induce the buyer to purchase the thing, and the buyer, in
turn, purchases the thing relying on such claim by the seller.

A mere expression of opinion does not count as a warranty unless the seller is an expert and the opinion
was relied upon by the buyer.

Art. 1547

This article talks about implied warranties. An implied warranty is that which is derived from the nature
of the transaction or the relative circumstance of the parties. In a contract of sale, there is an implied
warranty on the seller’s part that he has a right to sell the thing at the time of the transfer of ownership,
and that the buyer from that time on will have a legal and peaceful possession of the thing. There is also
an implied warranty that the thing being sold is free from any hidden defects or unknown
encumbrances.
