Ralph’s Hardware updated its accounting system and agreed to purchase a computer system from a manufacturer, Bits and Bytes (BB)

. During contract negotiations, BB’s sales representative promised that the system was “A-1” and “perfect.” However, the written contract, which the parties later signed, disclaimed all warranties, express and implied. After installation the computer produced only random numbers and letters, rather than the desired accounting information. Is BB liable for breaching an express warranty? Why?

Given:
<span>Fact 1: During contract negotiations, BB’s sales representative promised that the system was “A-1” and “perfect.”
</span><span>Fact 2: The written contract, which the parties later signed, disclaimed all warranties, express and implied. 
</span><span>Fact 3: After installation the computer produced only random numbers and letters, rather than the desired accounting information

The express warranty is given in Fact 1 where the Sales Rep promised that the system was "A-1" and "perfect". There is a breach in express warranty here IF the written contract also expresses the same promises. 

However, the written contract </span>disclaimed all warranties, express and implied. AND BOTH PARTIES SIGNED THIS CONTRACT. It implies that the buyer has read through the contract and has agreed with what is written in the contract. Thus, they can't file a suit against BB for breaching an express warranty since the written and signed contract has already disclaimed all warranties.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Project scope deals with the specific requirements or tasks necessary to complete the project. Scope is important to manage on any project, because if you can’t control the scope of the project, you’re not likely to deliver it on time.

A debtor owed a creditor $1,200 on a promissory note that was due on August 1. After the debtor told the creditor that he might
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the options are omitted. The question is therefore completed before answering the question by providing the options as follows:

A. No, because the debtor incurred no additional detriment that would serve as consideration for the new agreement.

B. Yes, because it would have cost the creditor $1,200 to purchase the entertainment system himself.

C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

D. Yes, because the new agreement between the debtor and the creditor is enforceable with or without

Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows.

It is possible to enforce the two parties' new agreement as an accord.

An accord can be described as an agreement in which one party to an existing contract agrees to accept some other, different performance from the other party in lieu of the performance that the other party is obligated to provide. In principle, an agreement must be backed by payment, but the consideration can be less than the amount agreed upon in the preceding contract if it is of a different character or the claim is to be paid to a third party. The responsibility of the debtor to supply the creditor with a new entertainment system was enough fresh consideration to constitute a legal agreement in this case.

When a party's responsibility is modified in some way, as the debtor's duty was in this case, the preceding legal duty rule does not apply. It makes no difference whether the creditor's benefit in the accord arrangement is equal to the original debt's worth; courts will find appropriate consideration if the consideration is fresh or different in any way. The difference in the debtor's obligation, that is, payment is in the form of an entertainment system rather than cash) is enough to sustain the accord arrangement, regardless of how much the entertainment system would have cost the creditor.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) does not apply because the original agreement was not for the sale of goods. The underlying commitment in this case was to pay a debt secured by a promissory note.

Therefore, the correct option is C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.
