Question

Sonja owns a bakery in San Francisco.

Performance of Sales Contracts. Sonja orders two new model X23 McIntyre ovens from Western Heating Appliances for $16,000. Sonja and Western Heating agree orally, on the telephone, that Western will deliver the ovens within two weeks and that Sonja will pay for the ovens when they are delivered. Two days later, Sonja receives a fax from Western confirming her order. Before delivery, Sonja learns that she can obtain the same ovens from another company at a much lower price. Sonja wants to cancel her order, but Western refuses. Is the contract enforceable against Sonja? Why or why not? ( Please base your response on the law and not personal opinions)

Answer 1

The contract is not lawfully enforceable since it was orally contracted on a telephone. Because terms were not written, an oral contract is difficult to prove. No written agreement or approval to prove the conditions existed. The existence and validity of an oral contract is compulsory. Even sonja rejects delivery before the product is delivered so that it can not be enforced.
