En l'état
English term
as is
In both new and used product sales, the manufacturer or seller may attempt to avoid the implied warranty of merchantability by either limiting it or disclaiming it entirely with an AS IS clause. (FreeAdvice)
If you bought a car as is, it means that you accepted it with all its faults. Any post-sale defects are your problem. A car may be sold as is through a dealer or a private person. The implied warranty of merchantability does not automatically arise in as-is purchases. (FindLaw, a Thomson Reuters business)
Using such language as "This property is sold as is" in a sales contract will probably not relieve the seller and the licensee from responsibility for material defects. (Georgia Real Estate Commission)

En l'état
"Acheter en l’état" c’est prendre le bien vendu dans l’état où il se trouve au moment du transfert de propriété en s’interdisant tout recours ultérieur contre le vendeur. "Vendre en l’état" c’est donc vendre sans garantie. L’expression signifie aussi que le vendeur vend en l’état des locations et occupations existantes sur le bien vendu et dont l’acquéreur devra faire son affaire personnelle. (Juris prudentes Droit immobilier)
Faites signer une attestation par l'acheteur comme quoi il achéte votre voiture en l'état, sans contrôle technique et sans garantie sur l'état mécanique de celle-ci et qu'il effectue cet achat en toute connaissance de cause......... (Auto Évasion Forum.com)
L'expression "vente en l'état" signifie qu'un véhicule est proposé à la vente sans garantie ni révision. Il s'agit souvent de véhicules assez anciens destinés à l'export. (Comparis.ch)
Thank you Afaf, but have you read my notes? In England a power of attorney is not made to appoint a lawyer, rather a member of the family. E.g. I am an attorney for my mother - but I am NOT a lawyer. I do not know though in Saudi the English term used for the deed appointing a lawyer to a client. |
True Deed of Proxy might work. The trouble is that in Saudi English terms are actually used, and I have not been able to find what they actually say in English in Saudi. |
