Misrepresentation — మిస్‌రిప్రజెంటేషన్

Misrepresentation is a false statement made honestly, without any intention to deceive — the person genuinely believed what they said was true. It still makes the contract voidable for the misled party, but it's treated more leniently than fraud precisely because there's no dishonesty behind it.

Misrepresentation అంటే నిజాయితీగా, మోసగించే ఉద్దేశం లేకుండా చేసిన తప్పుడు స్టేట్‌మెంట్ — తాను చెప్పింది నిజమేనని ఆ వ్యక్తి నిజంగా నమ్మాడు. ఇది ఇప్పటికీ మోసపోయిన పార్టీకి ఒప్పందాన్ని voidable చేస్తుంది, కానీ దాని వెనుక దురుద్దేశం లేనందున fraud కంటే మెత్తగా చూడబడుతుంది.
