Question

1. Clean Machines Company (Clean) makes washing machines. Over the phone, Clean offers to sell Dealers Appliance Outlet (Dealers) one hundred model EZ2000 washers at a price of $150 per unit. Clean says that it will keep the offer open for ninety days. Dealers responds that within two or three weeks it will decide whether to accept. One week later, Clean faxes, and Dealer receives, notice that the offer is withdrawn. Dealer immediately phones Clean to accept the $150-per-unit offer. When Clean refuses to deliver at that price, Dealer files a suit. Clean asserts, first, that there is no contract and, second, that if there is a contract, it is unenforceable. Please discuss Clean’s assertions, is Clean correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In my opinion, I would like to say that Clean Machines Company is correct. If you look at it this way, you'd see that there actually isn't any contract between Clean Machines Company and Dealer. When it came to about offers, the person offering is able to revoke an offer before the offer is even accepted. And he won't be held responsible unless of course, the offer is irrevocable. Then, to make the offer to be irrevocable, the Dealer then would have needed to prove that an option was present, or prove that the offer is was not able to be revoked due to UCC provision.
