Solution

The incorrect statement with respect to misrepresentation is: "Every statement made by parties during pre‐contractual negotiations always become terms of the contract". This is not always the case. Not all statements made during negotiations become contract terms. Some may be considered mere representations or sales talk, which do not have contractual force.
