Introduction: It is important to consider the legal nature of the advertisement made by Arkwright 's, i.e. invitation to treat versus a unilateral offer. ( ) I believe that the offer is unilateral as it refers to the world at large as it includes more specific terms than an invitation to treat such as a time frame and a specific course of action that is to be fulfilled in order to receive the Supertech tablet ( ). The case for Mandy: On face value, it seems as though Mandy could not have collected a Supertech tablet due to her ineligibility. This is because the advertisement clearly stated that you are entitled to the tablet “when you spend more than £600 on any of our merchandise in one visit”. Instead, Mandy paid in two instalments of £375 even though she left Arkwright’s store with over £600 worth of merchandise. But upon further speculation, it is not exactly clear how the offer to pay in two instalments arose. It is mentioned that “Arthur was keen not to lose a sale” and this suggests that he induced Mandy to pay in instalments.

Consequently, Arthur or any other employee at Arkwright’s would have notified Mandy of her entitlement to the Supertech tablet, which they failed to do. On the contrary, Mandy could have made a counter offer to pay in instalments as this explains Arthur’s willingness to pursue the sale. If this is the case, then Mandy would have been in a similar

Advertising is protected by the First Amendment of the United States constitution. Conversely, advertising requires less control from the First Amendment, but requires the majority of control from the government and most importantly, the Federal Trade Commission. The Federal Trade Commission controls the content and images that are being advertised to consumers that seem to be exaggerated or just plain over the top. With that being said, false advertising is one of the biggest rising issues amongst many companies, celebrities, business, and much more. False advertising is when an individual(s) attempt to betray consumers into believing they are purchasing an absolutely amazing product, when in reality, they are

Answer: Carnack is correct because Willard entered a contract that states that the deposit of $10,000(down payment) as liquidated damage. The contract was reasonable in its damage amount and unlikely to tell when a possible breach was going to happen, therefore the owner can obtain compensation.

Pat was very frustrated because she wanted to purchase a home but lacked the funds or credit to do so even though Pat was expecting shortly to receive a one-half million dollar final installment payment for some land she sold several years earlier. Dan knew that Pat was very interested in purchasing a home and approached Pat with a proposal to assist Pat in buying a home. Dan told Pat that he would help Pat with the financing. After finding the home she wanted to buy for $250,000, Dan and Pat orally agreed that Dan would purchase the home and "when you come up with the money, I (Dan) will sell it to you (Pat) for $250,000 plus a fair commission to be determined."
Each day we are bombarded with advertisements from a plethora of corporations in every waking moment of our lives. Advertising agencies have become so advanced at what they do, that often times we may not even realize we are being advertised a product. This raises an interesting ethical dilemma over a certain type of advertising: persuasive advertising. Philosophers, economists, and business professionals have debated over whether or not persuasive advertising is an immoral violation of the autonomy of consumers. While not all forms of advertising are in and of themselves certainly immoral, persuasive advertising is particularly reprehensible due to the fact that not only does it manipulate our unconscious desires of which we are completely unaware in order to sell a product, but it also routinely leads us to act against our own best interest, thus overriding our autonomy.

All of these red flags are signs of misinformation about Nutrition Supplement Serenex.

Overall, I have been waiting this day for more than a year, as all of the issues that I have with my product would be gone, so this week was a big day for my son, as my son would be doing my coursework on my laptop more comfortably and effectively. Overall, my son has been waiting long, so he can continue to do his coursework for the next couple of years without any issues that could have all been fixed under a £100, which is less than how much I have been paying in total for more than four years for my contract with KnowHow that is over the total of £552.
