Answer:

False

Explanation:

Natalie can return the washing machine without being liable for any replacement costs. Natalie is a minor, and minors cannot legally sign a contract except for purchasing necessities, e.g. food, clothes.  

Since the washing machine probably had a significant cost, there should have been a written contract between the parties. The rental company should have requested Natalie some type of legal identification before renting the washing machine and signing the contract. Their only possible defense is that Natalie used a forged ID when she rented the machine, and that they were ticked by it.

But if the rental company cannot prove that Natalie tricked them using some fake ID, then Natalie has the right to void the contract and return the item. It doesn't matter if the washing machine suffered damages or not, Natalie is not liable for any reparation or replacement costs.

stira [4]

The question is incomplete:

Clare, a florist, opened a new store and wanted to purchase a new refrigeration display cabinet for fresh-flower arrangements. She entered into a deal with Alpha Refrigeration Systems for two refrigeration units at $600 each. But, after delivering the units, the salesperson demanded another $100 as delivery charges, which was not mentioned in the deal. Identify the win-lose strategy used by the salesperson.

-Good guy-bad guy routine

-Browbeating

-Red herring

-Trial balloon

-Lowballing

Answer:

-Red herring

Explanation:

-Goog buy-bad guy routine is a strategy in which one person appears to be on your side and when you get to an agreement, this person goes to the bad guy for approval who will renegotiate.

-Browbeating is a strategy in which the buyer tries to affect the saleperson atittude by saying unflattering things.

-Red herring is a strategy in which one of the parties tries to distract the other one from certain isues to get an advantage.

-Trial balloon is an strategy in which one of the parties says something to the other one to get information about its position in the negotiation.

-Lowballing is an strategy in which the buyer makes a really low offer to test the seller.

According to the definitions, the answer is that the win-lose strategy used by the salesperson is red herring because Clara didn't consider the information related to the delivery when purchasing the units as she was probably distracted by other aspects and didn't consider this.
