In contract law concerning sales transaction, a Right to Cover is a remedy that is available to a buyer under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which governs the sales of goods. The UCC states a buyer may use a cover as a protection in an action of a breach in a sales contract. The buyer, in good faith, would purchase substitute goods when the seller violated the contract and fail to deliver the goods the buyer has asked for. The buyer can recover from the seller the difference of the cost of cover and contract price with any additional incidental or consequential damages. In other words, after the seller breaches the contract, the buyer is able to look for reasonable substitute goods. Then the buyer would have the damages recover from the seller. For example Bob, the buyer owns a hair salon. Bob orders 15 boxes of shampoos from John, the seller. John runs a hair supply store. Bob specifically orders the Green Tea scented shampoos. In his order, Bob states that he must have the shampoos by January 21. Bob pays the full contract price of $30 per box (a total of $450) to John. However on January 21, John delivers 15 boxes of peppermint-scented shampoos. The goods are nonconforming because the shampoos are not what Bob has ordered. One option that Bob has is to cover or purchase reasonable replacement goods. Bob then decides to contact another supplier; Susan to order the Green Tea scented Shampoos and having it deliver on the same day. But Susan’s hair supply

Firstly, we have to distinguish whether Jack makes an invitation to tender or an invitation to treat. According to Harvela Investments Ltd v. Royal Trust Co of Canada (CI) Ltd (1986), the usual analysis is that an invitation to tender for a particular project is simply an invitation to treat. ' However, in the case of Harvela Investments Ltd, the invitation to tender is treated as an offer implicating legal obligations. I believe that Jack was making an invitation to treat rather than an invitation to tender, constituting an offer, for several reasons; firstly, the terms of the invitation are vague, with no specification of time for which acceptance of the most competitive tender ' will remain open till; secondly, I infer that the lack
A contract is defined as, “a legally enforceable exchange of promises or an exchange of a promise for an act that assures that parties to the agreement that their promises will be enforceable (Kubasek 2015).” Contracts are essential for businesses to conduct business with one another. Before delving too far into the Muscadine grape case, it is also important to note that a sale is the, “passing of title to goods from buyer to seller for a price (Kubasek 2015)” and that a good is considered, “tangible personal property (Kubasek 2015).” Muscadine grapes and their by-products are the goods in question. When considering any legal case it is important to first consider the facts and the issues that are being considered.
1. Breach of an express warranty - An express warranty is a guarantee from the seller of a product that specifies the extent to which the quality or performance of the product is assured and states the conditions under which the product can be returned, replaced, or repaired. It is often given in the form of a specific, written "Warranty" document. However, a warranty may also arise by operation of law based upon the seller's description of the goods, and perhaps their source and quality, and any material deviation from that specification would violate the guarantee. For example, an advertisement describing a product is often full of express warranties; the product must substantially conform to what is advertised. Many advertisers insert disclaimers for this purpose (e.g., "actual color/mileage/results may vary", or "not shown actual size"). Commonly, written warranties will assure the buyer that an article is of good quality and against defects in "materials and workmanship." A warranty may also apply to services that
Although this practice was not fraudulent, the plaintiffs insisted that Campbell had a responsibility to record a reserve or allowance in anticipation of substantial customer returns likely to result from theses “sales.” Despite the fact that a large percentage of product sold under guaranteed sales contracts was returned, the company’s accounting staff apparently never recorded appropriate reserves for those sales returns. The plaintiffs charged that PwC must have known about Campbell’s bogus sales, but

My wife and I arrived in Atlanta, Georgia to see my daughter graduate high school. We had a reservation with Hertz, unfortunately we couldn’t use it because I had accidentally left my driver’s license at home. Hertz has a strict policy that doesn’t allow someone not driving to use an unlicensed person’s credit card to secure the rental car. So we had no choice but to choose one of the other rental car agencies, so we decided on Thrifty Rent a Car, or maybe not so “thrifty”, would be a better name.
