This is where a party the (offeror) offers and if accepted by another party the (offeree) it forms a legal binding contract whether it is bilateral or unilateral contracts. In bilateral contracts both parties are legally bound to the promises while in unilateral contracts offers are open for anyone to engage and perform its terms.

During the medarb, each side will communicate the dispute and attempt to reach a voluntary agreement. The results of the mediation are not binding but rather presented in good faith and up to the disputing parties to follow.

The role of the arbitrator will be assigned to another neutral legal party agreed on by Riordan and the customer. The decision handed down by the arbitrator is final and binding to those in dispute.

Article 2, it is enforceable as a verbal contract in court.

Explain. Would either party have any other defenses that would allow the contract to be avoided? This would not fall under a doctrine of mistake because the email that was sent had the terms of the actual verbal agreement in writing. It was sent to the party that was involved with the
Armstrong is obligated to transfer and deliver conforming goods to GCI. Conforming goods requires that the goods must conform exactly to the agreed upon description provided by the buyer to the seller. This action is referred to as tender of delivery and the UCC obligates the seller to have or tender the specific goods requested. By substituting the third part of the press Armstrong has not yet breached the contract but has not provided perfect tender. Armstrong’s failures to meet their obligation gives GCI three options: they may reject the entire shipment of goods, accept the shipment of goods as is, or accept any number of commercial units and reject the rest of the goods, (Melvin 2011, pg.
