Factors for consideration a. law’s non-logical implications in interpretation what parties would’ve agreed to (ex. Haines: duration and scope of contract) - policy: at-will doctrine in employment: policy - would’ve agreed to terms had they anticipated situation - had in mind, but didn’t express it b. context - what is the objective of the contract? Is it ambiguous? Ex. Spaulding v.

P4 – The Meaning of Terms in a Standard Form Contract I am going to talk about the types of terms in a standard form contract Terms are the parts of a contract that are agreed to by parties, for example, “9.4 Replacements will be sent out when the original item is returned.” Express Terms - The terms of a contract of employment are made up from a number of different sources. The most obvious will be the express terms which have been agreed between the parties. Express terms may have been agreed either orally or in writing.

Stein should sue. Alternately, if Stein wants to sue Gortino for fraud to cancel the sale or come up with a different settlement, she can do that. Discussion 2: How does this doctrine act as an exception to the elements and requirements of a contract? This doctrine can act as an exception because, according to Reinstatement Section 90, the promise doesn't have to be "so comprehensive in scope as to meet the requirements of an offer that would create a binding contract if accepted by the promisee" ("Hoffman v. Red," 1967). Also, the promissor has to expect that, upon the promise, it will induce action by the promisee.
A proposal is an offer if it is made in such a way that the person to whom it is made has only to accept it to bring the contract into existence. 2. The three requirements of a valid offer state that both parties must hold a genuine interest in the contract, both parties must be set out and adhered to in full. Along with those conditions, it is also important that both parties voluntarily enter into the agreement. Failure to meet the required elements nullifies the contract.

What constitutes sufficient consideration, however, has been the subject of continuing legal debate. Contracts and courts generally use the term valuable consideration to signify consideration sufficient to sustain an enforceable agreement. In general, consideration consists of a promise to perform a desired act or a promise to refrain from doing an act that one is legally entitled to do. Thus, a person who seeks to enforce a promise must have paid or obligated herself to pay money, delivered goods, expended time and labour, or forgone some other profitable activity or legal right. For example, in a contract for the sale of goods the money paid is the valuable consideration
That is, if one party has a reasonable belief the other may fail to perform its part of the bargain, it can demand adequate assurance of performance in writing from the other party” (Broucher, 1958). There are a few different offers or alternatives that the Uniform Commercial Code allows when the performance of an agreement has not taken place or when specific party of the agreement refuses to honor their obligations that were stated. When it comes to the party that is not refusing the agreement they can wait for performance for a specific time period that is deemed reasonable, they can also go on with acting as if the agreement was breached, or they can just suspend their performance. In conclusion, the Uniform Commercial Code and the main items and concepts that were discussed are a direct representation that should be followed in business practices. The main history of the Uniform Commercial Code, the parties and types of contracts that are or may be covered by the Uniform Commercial Code were discussed within this paper, and the main current uses, As any business person should be aware of their intended agreement with a specific party they should also be familiar and aware of all items that are included within a code for their specific trade and
