A mere representation is a statement made during negotiations but it may not form part of the contract. A mere representation (if breach) will not give rise to contractual liability whereas a term of the contract will.

How does the court determine whether any representation is a term or a mere representation?

The court determines whether a representation is a term or mere representation by assessing the intention of the parties and the context in which the statement was made. Key factors include the importance of the statement to the contract, whether it was made in a formal setting, and whether the parties relied on it during negotiations. If a representation is deemed a term, it becomes enforceable as part of the contract; if merely a representation, it may not carry the same legal weight. The court may also consider whether the statement was reduced to writing in the contract.

What is the definition of a mere puff?

Mere Puff is a statement, which by its nature, and in the context in which it is made, is not intended to have legal relation. It is used in contract law to describe the statements of a contract. When a statement is a "term" and one of the parties breach it then it is going to be legally liable to the other party. If a term is just a representation (or mere puff) the remedies are going to be different.
