Whose statement is accepted in a dispute over whether the item's description differed from the reality?

Primary text

If the seller claims the description did not differ and the buyer claims it did differ, the statement of the buyer is accepted. This is because the buyer's default status is the acquittal of liability from the price, and the price is not incumbent upon him unless he admits to it or it is established by evidence or its equivalent.
