Brewbucks, а smаll but rаpidly grоwing cоffee chain, entered intо a written agreement with SipTech, an appliance manufacturer, for the purchase of ten coffee machines at $200 per machine, with delivery to its new store required by June 1. Brewbucks selected SipTech’s coffee machines specifically for their patented heating technology that could instantly heat water, allowing Brewbucks to sell more drinks than its competitors, but all while keeping their prices low. During negotiations, Brewbucks verbally made it clear that timely delivery was essential to the opening of their new store on June 15. SipTech verbally stated they understood and Brewbucks paid SipTech a total of $2,000 for the ten coffee machines. Two weeks after the agreement was executed, SipTech informed Brewbucks via email that rising material costs would prevent it from completing the order unless Brewbucks agreed to increase the price to $250 per unit. Since Brewbucks had already set a date for the grand opening of its new store, Brewbucks felt they had no choice and, in an email, agreed to the price increase but said they would pay the difference on the day of delivery. SipTech replied, “Ok.” On June 1, SipTech delivered the ten coffee machines to the new store on time, but upon inspection, Brewbucks discovered that two of the machines had visible scratches and dents, though they remained fully functional. Concerned about customer perception and their brand, Brewbucks rejected the entire shipment and demanded a refund. SipTech took all ten coffee machines back but refused to return Brewbucks’ $2,000, stating that Brewbucks was in breach of contract for unreasonably rejecting the shipment, since the scratches and dents on just two of the ten coffee machines were cosmetic and the machines otherwise worked as intended. With the grand opening approaching, Brewbucks purchased ten replacement coffee machines that took 3 minutes to heat the water and from a different supplier at $200 per machine. Brewbucks estimates that having to use the slower coffee machines costs it $5,000 a month in sales. Brewbucks sues SipTech for breach of contract.
