The offeror is the master of his own offer. An attempt to accept the offer on different terms instead creates a counter-offer, and this constitutes a rejection of the original offer.

An implied in fact contract is a contract in which the law infers from the circumstances, conduct, acts, or relationship of the parties rather than from their spoken word.

Question 2: What facts may weigh in favor of or against Chou in terms of the parties’ objective intent to contract? Facts in favor: There are several facts that are in favor of Chou for intent to contract. The first is that an oral distribution agreement as met, and that an email was sent by BTT with the agreement terms that included price, time frames, and the obligations of both parties.

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. 192). One right that is available to Armstrong is referred to as the cure. The cure is the UCC’s way of promoting the completion of an original contract. It would allow Armstrong (the seller) the right or opportunity to repair or replace any goods that the buyer (GCI) has rejected as long as the time period for performance has not
2. What facts may weigh in favor of or against Chou in terms of the parties’ objective intent to contract? The fact that may weigh in favor for Chou in terms of the parties’ objective intent to contract is the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA).

Under the Uniform Commercial Code, or UCC (see Chapter 18), a bid at an auction constitutes an offer. The offer (the highest bid) is accepted when the auctioneer’s hammer falls. The UCC also states that auctions are “with reserve” unless the seller specifies otherwise. As noted elsewhere, in an auction with reserve, the seller reserves the right not to sell the goods to the highest bidder. Hence, even after the hammer falls, the contract for sale remains conditioned on the seller’s approval.

Stated in an article Privacy Issues in the 21st Century by Onwutalobi Anthony, Claret, in this research paper I plan to share with you what I have learned after doing my research. When something is private to a person it is usually information about them that they don’t want to share with the world. Privacy in the 21st Century is a major concern due to the rapid growth of technology today. There for we need to be careful about what information we share with the public because of the lack of privacy. Technology has grown by leaps and bounds since we have entered the 21st Century.
