The Uniform Commercial Code has been one of the standards for doing business in North Carolina since 1965. Over the years, there have been changes and modifications to the originally adopted code; but, it is important to note that the basics of justice and fairness to all parties involved, have remained the same. As important as the UCC is to commerce today, it is by no means the only law governing business. Prior to the adoption of the UCC, the legal authority for just about every aspect of life – business or personal—has been Common Law. Although the UCC encompasses the ways of commerce today, it is important to remember that business thrives on contracts and Contract Law is still a major portion of Common Law. It stands to reason that each is just as important as the other when it comes to the standards of doing business.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a summary of traditional common law rules which govern commercial transactions. The uniform commercial code can be considered a statutory program under the law of administering, legalizing, and recording contracts (US Legal, 2016). It standardizes business laws in the US and seeks uniformity amongst states. The law also seeks to diminish the need for legal formalities while making business deals with the absence of lawyers and elaborate processes. There are conditions which are stipulated in UCC contracts and if present in the contract between Acme and its partners, the contract would be repudiated in accordance to the UCC. Common law emphasizes the making of rules through court decisions (Rogers, 2012 1.1). Common law can vary by state and requires consideration should any type of modification be done to the original contract. The contracts for this business will be governed by common law because UCC governs moveable products. The customers of Acme Fireworks will have to buy displays and set up for fireworks, so they are immobile products so this contract will be govern by common law (Budd & Bhave, 2010). Various factors have to be discussed if the business model of the Acme fireworks is to be changed. The decision

The Fundamentals of a Contract is when a legal agreement is constructed that bonds a party of two or more individuals, corporations, etc., into a binding agreement. In order for the to be considered legal in the court of law it must contain these elements; an offer, an acceptance, defined terms, capacity and legal consideration. A Contracts can largely be in written or verbal form, using either formal or informal terms, and conditions. However, verbal contract agreement are harder to prove in the court of law and the burden is usually solely on the injured party. In the legal system there are two types of contracts, a common law contract and a contract that is governed under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).

The first issue is determining which jurisdiction should govern the agreement between the parties – Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the Common law, or the CISG? When the subject matter of a transaction is for the sale of goods, Article 2 of the UCC is used to analyze the deal between the parties. Article 2 of the UCC governs the formation, performance, and damages. When the subject matter of the transaction is not for the sale of goods or is to provide a service, the common law is used to analyze the deal between the parties. The Common law governs formation, performance, and damages. When the transaction is for non-consumer goods and between parties from different nations, the Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is used to govern the transaction. The CISG governs formation, performance, and damages. In this case, the party’s agreement would be considered a hybrid contact as the agreement includes a goods component, as well as a service component. Since the agreement between the parties is a hybrid contract we can use the Predominate Purpose Test or the Gravamen Test to determine whether the UCC or the Common law should govern. Using the Predominate Purpose Test we can look at what the predominate purpose of the contract was for- the

FWPL’s Board of Directors has not yet made a final decision to sell the trucks. Would a contract of sale be enforceable by the purchaser if the contract was executed:

Section 18 lays down three rules, the first one being that where the contract is unconditional the ownership of the goods will pass to the buyer when the contract is made. This is, however, fairly rare as RV Ward v Bignall demonstrates that in our modern society not a lot of evidence is required to support the inference that ownership was to pass at a later stage. Secondly, where the seller is bound by the contract to do something to the goods for the purpose of putting them into a deliverable state, the

The United Nations convention on contracts for the international sale of goods shall not apply to this license. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this license or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the license shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this license shall continue in full force and effect.

There are many different types of contracts and many different parts to a contract. Contracts are formal agreements between people or businesses. There are seven elements to a contract. The first is the offer which is the purposed deal. Next is the acceptance of the offer than consideration or bargaining of the offer. Legality is the next which means is the contract for a lawful purpose. Next is capacity are the parties adults of sound mind then consent of the contract. Lastly, writing some types of contracts must be in writing to be enforceable. There are two contract rules for governing the sales of goods and the sale of services. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is the code used for the sales of goods. The sales of services uses common law to govern these contracts.
