The concept of "Caveat Emptor" finds a mention in judicial systems of common law. For example it appears in the Sale of Goods Act in India. Caveat Emptor is a concept which is becoming slightly lesser relevant because of the huge variety of means through which goods and services are being sold in today's market.

A contract of insurance is however a different contract and is guided by different principles such "utmost good faith",etc. The reason being that in a contract for insurance, for example in life insurance, the person getting himself assured must show utmost good faith. This means he should disclose all the material factors which are likely to influence the insuring party.
The concept of Caveat Emptor not being applicable because the insurer can in no way possibly forsee all the possible conditions likely to effect his interest. The insured is in the best position to know this.

Why was Elvis a nonconformist?
One of the uses of this word would be for person who is a non-Christian to be subjected to the Christian religion and/or does not subscribe to a specific church. In this case the answer would be NO with the caveat that Elvis could not attend church, once he became famous, due to the uproar it would cause. He had too much respect for the church to take the attention away from the Preachers/Choir. However, Elvis was deeply spiritual - read the bible daily - and researched/questioned/was curious about other religions along with respecting other religions. Another use of this word pertains to someone who is unique and does not "conform" (i.e. agree, act like, modify their behaviors, etc.) to the masses/majority. In this case the answer would be YES in the sense that everything about Elvis was (wholly) unique. From the minute he was born (as his identical twin brother who was born first died aka stillborn), to growing up poor, to having health problems as a child (i.e. asthma, severe acne, sleep apnea, sleep walking, chronic insomnia, etc.), to the way he; dressed, combed his hair, thought, cared about others, loved his mother, treated everyone equally, put his faith in God, and the way he sang and performed.

What is the Doctrine of Caveat Venditor and what is its purpose?
Caveat venditor is in contrast to the legal doctrine of caveat emptor, or, let the buyer beware. The doctrine of caveat vendor establishes a set of good business practices that protect the seller. The seller must verify the authority of the buyer to contract on behalf of their company. Ask for certificates of authority. Typically, a seller should make appropriate inquiries as to the authority of the buyer and the quality of the payment: In other words, verify payment for goods and/or services prior to their delivery. The seller with any doubts can ask for a cashier's check. The seller must be alert to checks received for payment that show a notation of "payment in full" when the payment is not in full. Keep copies of all checks to monitor the authorized signatures. For the small business the practice of using "PayPal" services for internet sales is a good example of the doctrine of caveat venditor in action. By using that service the seller is guaranteed that payment is made before the goods are delivered. For a good discussion see the link provided below.
