Answer #1

In this case it is visible that the contract is made with Millie who is a minor and can void this agreement as she had the right to do the same. Millie took possession of the computer and used it after she turned 18 which has no direct relation with the contract because the contract is made when she was not 18 and therefore, even if she uses the same after she turns 18 generally makes no sense as it makes no change to the contract at all. The date on which the contract was signed and agreed upon is important and actions after the signing has very less importance.
