...Different kinds of Legal Contracts Teneisha Bonner BUSN150-1303A-03/Professor Smith August 11th, 2013 Abstract One of the main attributes of an advanced community is the legal obligation contract, which permits individuals to make promises with one another knowing that they have legal options in the circumstance of a violation of the deal. Contract regulation in the United States is based on common law and it sometimes varies by other states and even with federal circuits. In this paper, different legal contracts will be discussed. Different Kinds of Legal Contracts A contract can be either an express agreement or an implied agreement. An express contract is one in which the words are being pronounced verbally, either orally or in writing. An implied contract is one in which some of the words are not being pronounced in terms. An implied contract can either be understood in fact or understood in regulations. An agreement which is mentioned in fact is one in which the situations imply that both individuals have made a deal even though they both have not done so expressly. For instance, when an individual goes to the doctor for his/her yearly physical, he/she always comply that they will pay an affordable price for the labor. If he/she does not want to pay for the service after the physical, then he/she has broken the contract that has been implied in fact. When an express contract is being implied, both parties have to decide whether if the terms are being...

...following through with their agreement? Is the contract irrelevant because it was not reduced to UCC Statute of Frauds? According to Section 2 of the UCC Statute of Frauds, Except as otherwise provided in this section a contract for the sale of goods for the price of $500 or more is not enforceable by way of action or defense unless there is some writing sufficient to indicate that a contract for sale has been made between the parties and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought or by his authorized agent or broker. A writing is not insufficient because it omits or incorrectly states a term agreed upon but the contract is not enforceable under this paragraph beyond the quantity of goods shown in such writing. In reference to the above paragraph, a contract for the purchase of 100 watches was drafted by Randy Rolek and sent to Wally of “Windy City Watches,” In which Wally signed making the contract complete. Wally states that he should not be held accountable, but UCC Statute of Frauds states specifically, “$500 or more is not enforceable by way of action or defense unless there is some writing sufficient to indicate that a contract for sale has been made between the parties and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought or by his authorized agent or broker.” Considering that the contract signed was for the purchase of 100 watches at $25 per watch, this puts the total due at $2500, making the contract valid.

...1. Invitation to Treat v. Offer to the World at Large A contract may be defined as ‘a promise or set of promises which the law will enforce’ or as ‘an agreement giving rise to obligations which are enforced or recognized by law’ . An ‘offer’ is an expression of willingness to contract made with the intention (actual or apparent) that it shall become binding on the person making it as soon as it is accepted by the person to whom it is addressed . An offer may be addressed either to an individual or to a specified group of persons or to the world at large; and it may be made expressly (by words) or by conduct. A communication by which a party is invited to make an offer is commonly called an ‘invitation to treat’. It is distinguishable from an offer primarily on the ground that it is not made with the intention that it shall become binding as soon as the person to whom it is addressed simply communicates his assent to its terms. A statement is clearly not an offer if it expressly provides that the person who makes it is not to be bound merely by the other party’s notification of assent but only when he himself has signed the document in which the statement is contained . Apart from this type of case, the wording of the statement is not conclusive: it may be an invitation to treat although it contains the word “offer” ; while a statement may be an offer although it is expressed as an “acceptance” , or although it requests the person to whom it is addressed to make an “offer”...

...After a review of the Offer and Acceptance video I opted to go with Option 3, creating a contract that clearly states in writing the implied terms of the contract verbally communicated in the contracts. A contract is not a replacement for trust; it is the basis for trust. “Contract administration starts with developing clear, concise performance based statements of work to the extent possible, and preparing a contract administration plan that cost effectively measures the contractor’s performance and provides documentation to pay accordingly.” (www.acquisition.gov/bestpractices, Jan. 09, 2012) “For a contract to be enforceable, the following four (4) basic requirements must be met: 1) Agreement- an agreement between the parties, that requires a offer; 2) Acceptance of the offer; 3) Consideration, the promise must be supported by a bargained-for consideration that is legally sufficient. Money, personal property, real property, provisions of services, and such qualify as consideration. 4) Contractual capacity, [t]he parties must have contractual capacity for the contract to be enforceable against them. Contracts cannot be enforced against parties who lacked contractual capacity when they entered into a contract. 5) Law object, [t]he object of the contract must be lawful. Most contracts have a lawful object. However, contracts that have an illegal object are void and will not be enforced.” (Business Law: Legal Environment, Online Commerce, Business...

...Contracts Assignment 2 1. Yes the acceptance is binding. Per UCC § 2-206 any “reasonable” method of acceptance is valid Including: * Verbal acceptance * Acceptance by action that implies an acceptance * Shipping in response to an order of goods * Silence; if the offeree fails to return something that she was supposed to return if she wasn’t going to buy it or in another case where silence can reasonably be interpreted to be an acceptance. In this matter Terra, Inc., orally placed an order for fabrics from Yarner, Inc., and followed up with a purchase order for the same. When Yarner sent back an acknowledgment of the order, her action implied the acceptance, the inclusion of the arbitration clause does not create a difference in the offer. 2. Yes the arbitration clause is part of the acceptance. The fact that Yarner sent back the acknowledgment even though the clause was sent back containing the clause; “under which any dispute must be submitted to arbitration. In Gaynor-Stafford Industries, both parties were merchants, just as are Yarner and Terra, in that case originally there had been a stay given to Gaynor by the trial court stating Gaynor was unaware of the arbitration clause. However on appeal using UCC § 2-207 as a guide whereas the arbitration clause did not expressly limit the acceptance or materially alter the contract. The court also held that the parties were merchants in which arbitration clauses are commonly used. The court...

...A contract is an agreement between parties, with terms and conditions that describe the agreement, that constitutes a legal obligation. Contracts provide the means for individuals and businesses to sell and otherwise transfer property, services, and other rights. The four elements of a valid contract are agreement, consideration, contractual capacity, and lawful object, in order for a contract to be enforceable all four of these requirements must be met. An agreement is when someone makes an offer and the offeree accepts. A consideration is a commitment made between both sides to perform a contract, this is most common when money is exchanged for goods or services. Contractual capacity is the legal ability to enter into a contract (Cheeseman,2009). Lawful object is required for a contract to be enforceable (Cheeseman, 2009). The objective theory of contracts holds that the intent to enter into an express or Implied-in-fact contract is judged by the reasonable person standard (Cheeseman, 2006). In the case of PepsiCo vs. Leonard there is no contract on the basis of the objective theory. As the judge ruled "an objective reasonable person would not have considered the commercial an offer" (Leonard vs. PepsiCo). Objective theory of contracts makes a proposal stating that would, a reasonable person in the position...
