Final answer:
The consumer can waive the implied warranties given by a merchant if specific conditions are met, such as using express disclaimer language, negotiation, specific merchant disclosures, and providing the buyer with an opportunity to inspect the goods.
Step-by-step explanation:
A consumer of household goods can waive the implied warranties of merchantability and of fitness for a particular purpose when purchasing from a merchant under specific conditions. These conditions are: (A) express language disclaiming any implied warranty, such as "as is", (B) specifically negotiated waiver, (C) the merchant's particularization of the known qualities and characteristics not being warranted, and the buyer is given a reasonable time to inspect the good. While the other options mentioned, such as the merchant disclosing the true nature of the goods, the seller agreeing to repair defects, or submitting the goods to an independent inspection can contribute to informed decision-making, the key additional element that allows the waiver of the implied warranties is the buyer's ability to inspect the goods thoroughly.
