  2. To cut a long story short, i paid £2,500 for some granite kitchen worktops 8 weeks ago. they are now staining (which can not be removed without complete re-polish) from kids vimto drinks. It's not from neat vimto, but believe it or not the shape of the cup stains the surface so I think its from the watered down content of the cup that I guess the kids are dribbling down. Having researched the issue installers in the USA recommend testing for low grade granite buy squirting lemon on it (if only i had known) and walking away from it if it stains I was told by the supplier after purchase and installation to avoid spilling acid substances such as coke, lemon some fruit drinks on them as it could cause issues. Suffice to say im now being told to go away it's my issue.[/font] Im trying to make sense of the supply of goods act regarding "fit for purpose" and making me aware of these issues before the purchase. I have simply been told that the T&C of his web site say to remove liquids straight away that could cause issues such as lemon juice. I didn’t visit his web site or receive any verbal or written notice of the potential issues. However, using this granite in a kitchen with a young family, which the supplier knew about just isn’t practical, or in my mind fit for purpose. The extract from the act is below but to be honest I don’t really understand if he can get away with it because his small print mentions something. many thanks Mark 4 Implied terms about quality or fitness (1) Except as provided by this section and section 5 below and subject to the provisions of any other enactment, there is no implied condition or warranty about the quality or fitness for any particular purpose of goods supplied under a contract for the transfer of goods.
