This agreement made and entered into this date October 23, 2015, by and between Machines, Inc. of Austin, Texas, and Widgets, Inc. of Detroit. It was designed for both parties to understand terms and condition of their trading. This sale contract was developed by Uniform Commercial Code, which is government rules regarding businesses or companies. According to Raina article, “the terms and conditions in import contracts outline the rights and obligations of the importer and the foreign supplier in carrying out the transaction (1990, sec.1). This contract regards for the purchase of the goods described below:

If Seller fails to comply with this contract for any other reason, Seller will be in default and Buyer may, as Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this contract and receive from Seller the deposit, thereby releasing both parties from the contract.

The Uniform Commercial Code is a comprehensive code necessary that throughout the United States of America, states abide by in order to mandate the interaction of sales between buyers and seller. The Uniform Commercial code would be nothing without commercial law. Commercial law applies to the rights, relations, and conduct of persons and businesses committed in commerce, merchandising, trade, and sales. These laws have evolved sufficiently throughout the years. The Uniform Commercial Code and Commercial law have created a rule-book so that problems that would delay interpretation and efficiency of trade would not occur.

The Uniform Commercial Code has language that requires certain sales of goods contracts to be in writing in order to adhere to the law, commonly known as the Statute of Frauds (Beatty, Samuelson, & Bredeson, 2013). The general rule for a sale of goods contract is that if the price for the goods are over $500, the contract must be in writing (Beatty, Samuelson, & Bredeson, 2013).

A document guaranteeing the payment of a specific amount of money is called a negotiable instrument. Explicitly, the negotiable instrument guarantees the precise amount of money to be paid on demand or a set time, with the payee normally named on the document. This instrument is governed by state statutory law. Autonomously, each state has implemented with some modifications Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The UCC defined the validity of a negotiable instrument.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), in contrast, falls under civil law, “which is based on a rigid code of rules” (businessdictionary.com, 2013). It was established to create a uniform set of laws for business transactions, since common law can vary from state to state (Beatty, Samuelson, Bredeson, 2013). As far as contracts are concerned, Article 2 of the UCC is of most significance. This part of the code deals with the sale of goods. Goods are defined in terms of contracts as anything that is moveable, other than money, investment securities and certain legal rights (Beatty, Samuelson, Bredeson, 2013). Common law, on the other hand, is used for contracts involving the sale of services or anything else other than goods (Beatty, Samuelson, Bredeson, 2013).

All contracts are governed by the state laws where the agreement was made. Nevertheless, a contract can either be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) or

Contracts are formal agreements between people or businesses however, there are many different types of contracts and many different parts to a contract. There are a couple of elements of a contract. First proposal of the contract is accepted than consideration of the offer. In addition to that, a contract must be for a lawful purpose and the adults must be of sound mind to consent to a 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 is use common law to govern these contracts.

UCC regulates commercial transactions between merchants, individuals, and across state lines (except Louisiana, where common law prevails). The intent of UCC was to simplify the law, clarify it, modernize, as well as codify uniformity for commercial transactions. The formation of a contract by the UCC is intended to protect the seller and/or the buyer (neutral in nature) as well as vice-versa. The FAR is however different in nature as it is intended to protect the taxpayer (government). Having a first-hand experience with the UCC (post-PROC 5280), I had purchased a new canopy for our recreational vehicle when driving down the road the canopy come flying off causing minor damage to the vehicle. As the buyer, I immediately contacted the store and then brought the vehicle into the store. The manager told me he could not be responsible for the damage or the repair after the vehicle left the lot. I asked the manager to look up UCC § 2-314 implied warranty at which time he said, he was not aware of this policy and would contact the general manager. The company completed all the repairs of the vehicle at their expense.

According to the Judicial Education Center, under the uniform commercial code (UCC), this contract would not fall under the UCC because there is no merchant involved in this transaction (private party sale).

This article is cited as Uniform Commercial Code-General Provisions. This article applies to a transaction to the extent that it is governed by another article of the Uniform Commercial Code.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is just like a whole big book of all the collection of the lawful regulations and acts. They eventually control the trading’s/behavior and negotiations of businesses. It manages the conveys and/or the selling of private property, in other terms personal property. UCC doesn’t state the trading in real property. Well overall, the Uniform Commercial Code institutionalizes business laws within the United States of America. Along with that, it also looks for stability in the states within the country, USA. Also, there are types of contracts, where the Uniform Commercial Code needs to be applied. Some contracts are the exchange of goods, leases, bank advance payments, warehouse receipts, and investment

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
