First, this condition applies only if it’s the seller’s '''business to sell things''', and the goods are things they usually sell.

Second, this condition may only apply where you tell the seller '''how you plan to use the goods'''. For example, if you go to a hardware store and tell the salesperson you want a saw to cut metal pipes, and they sell you a saw that cuts only wood, the condition clearly applies. The saw isn’t reasonably fit for the purpose you bought it for, and you clearly explained that purpose to the salesperson. But if you just picked up the saw yourself, without any discussion with the salesperson, you would likely not be able to rely on this condition. | |||
