Simple Definition

Definition: Misdescription is when someone makes a mistake or lies in a contract, which can hurt or trick one of the people involved. It can also happen when someone writes down the wrong information about something, like the name of a thing or where it is. For example, if someone sells a house but says it has a big backyard when it really doesn't, that's misdescription.

Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.
