Nаte telephоned his first cоusin Prestоn one dаy аnd asked him to meet for a coffee break at the hardware store. When Preston arrived, Nate shoved a document over to him to read. “You’re transferring all your rights to your store over to me?” Preston questioned incredulously. “Yes,” Nate replied, “You’ve complained to me for years about your job as a salesperson for that toy store. Since my youngest daughter is in college now, I accepted a high school teaching and coaching job instead, but I need you to do your homework. As you know, working at a toy store and operating a hardware store are two entirely different things. You should be ready to take over the store in two weeks. You’ll be a businessman now; you should be proud!” he exclaimed, patting Preston on the back. Approximately a month after he had taken over Nate’s hardware store, business started to pick up, and Preston realized he needed to order more supplies of wood. He quickly found a supplier online and reached out by email with his request. Shortly thereafter, he received an email confirmation from Daniel (owner of Daniel Darby’s Lumber Yard), along with an order form. Preston was careful to indicate in the order that he needed to purchase 25 boxes of the lightest wood from Daniel Darby. Then Preston sent an email back to Daniel with the order form and the signed agreement, along with sending a deposit of $100 through Zelle to him to secure the shipment of the lightest wood within a week. When the confirmation was emailed back, Daniel included a copy of the signed agreement with a sticky pointing his attention to a new paragraph that he added in large bold capitalized letters (circled in red) that stated, “This Agreement may be changed by the parties hereto only by a written supplemental agreement executed by both Parties.” Six days later, Preston received the shipment of the wood from Daniel who had written in red ink on the invoice. “Due to increased demand, we cannot accept the return of wood by a customer. All sales are final once the wood leaves our premises.” After a month, he received a request from a customer for a large supply of the lightest wood. When he checked the shipment from Daniel, he was alarmed to see that it was maple wood, not balsa wood, the kind of wood he expected which was a very light weight of wood used for model plane parts. Daniel refused the return of the wood, and maintained that the signed documents were clear, and Preston should have known the correct wood he ordered and that everyone in the business knows that “lightest” wood means maple wood because it is practical and can be used in cabinets, furniture and flooring. When Preston phoned Nate, he agreed with Daniel and reminded him he had told him to do his homework, and that everyone in the industry knows “lightest” wood means maple wood.
