Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The warranty of merchantability is always implied, unless the product you are buying expressly disclaims the contrary. For example, when you buy a product "with defects" or "with all faults", then you are purchasing something that you know is not 100% reasonable that it will work.

Products that are sold should serve for the purpose that they were made for and reasonably conform with what a buyer expects from it. For example, you buy a lawn mower, and therefore you can expect that it works for mowing your lawn.
