Essаy Questiоn 2Buyer, а cаr manufacturer lоcated in Detrоit, and Seller, a paint manufacturer located in Philadelphia, enter into a contract for the sale of 1,500 cans of auto body paint at $10 per can. The agreement provides that Seller will ship the cans to Buyer by commercial truck, “F.O.B. Philadelphia.” The parties agree that delivery will be made no later than the close of business on March 1, with payment due no later than March 15. Seller delivers the paint on March 1. The shipment includes 100 boxes, with each box containing 10 cans of paint. Buyer immediately notifies Seller that 500 cans of paint are missing. Seller provides a bill of lading proving that, at the time Seller placed the goods into the possession of the trucking company, there were 150 boxes containing 1,500 cans of paint. When Buyer contacts the trucking company, the trucking company admits it received 150 boxes of paint from Seller and concedes that it must have misplaced or lost the other 50 boxes. Buyer buys 50 substitute cans of paint from another seller for $12 per can. Buyer’s warehouse employees, who are not trained in, and do not have knowledge regarding, paint quality, open each box, count the number of cans in each one, and check to make sure the paint is the correct color. Once the number and color of the cans of paint are verified, the boxes are stamped with Buyer’s company logo and storage location, and then placed in Buyer’s warehouse to be stored until they can be used. On March 5, Buyer pulls 10 boxes of paint from his warehouse for use in his products. When the first box is opened and the first can is removed, it is discovered that the can is punctured, causing the paint to dry out and become useless. Buyer’s employees review the other 90 boxes to check the integrity of the cans. Of those 90 boxes, 9 include punctured cans with dried out paint. On March 15, Buyer returns the five boxes with defective cans to Seller, with a note stating that they are defective and are being rejected. In his communication to Seller, Buyer includes payment in the amount of $9,000 and states that $6,000 is being withheld for the 10 boxes containing defective paint cans and the missing 50 boxes of paint. Buyer then purchases 100 cans of paint from another source to replace those he returned to Seller, at a price of $1,200. In December, Buyer begins hearing complaints from his customers about the quality of the paint used in the manufacture of Buyer’s cars. The customers complain that the paint is corroding the bodies of the vehicles Buyer has sold. Buyer is forced to recall all vehicles in which the paint was used and refund its customers’ money, at an enormous expense to Buyer. Buyer then obtains 900 substitute cans of paint from a different source, at a price of $10,000. In January, Buyer revokes his acceptance of the 90 boxes of paint he previously paid for. Buyer sues Seller for return of the $9,000 paid for those boxes, and for his expenses in obtaining new paint, alleging breach of express and implied warranties. Seller counterclaims against for the $6,000 Buyer withheld in his March 15 payment. 1. Which party is in breach? 2. If Buyer prevails against either Seller or Can Co., what will be Buyer’s measure of damages? 3. If Seller prevails against either Buyer or Can Co., what will be Seller’s measure of damages?
Essаy Questiоn 1 Hаrley is а manufacturer and seller оf custоm-made motorcycles. Davidson is a motorcycle enthusiast who has, over time, purchased dozens of motorcycles from Harley and other sellers, and is considered a motorcycle expert. Davidson once owned a motorcycle retail shop and did business with Harley for custom-built motorcycles. He has since closed his shop, but continues to buy motorcycles for recreation. Davidson decides to order two custom-built motorcycles from Harley. Davidson sends Harley an e-mail ordering two custom-made motorcycles from Harley, with all specifications for the motorcycles and with pricing commensurate with Harley's pricing schedule (the total price for the two motorcycles is $60,000). Davidson advises Harley that he wants motorcycles that can be used for casual, everyday use and also for off-road use, and which are suitable for long road trips. The following day, Harley e-mails Davidson a signed, pre-printed acknowledgement form confirming the purchase. Harley’s e-mail states that Harley’s motorcycles will be “state of the art,” that they will be “perfect for both street use and off-road use,” and that they will “provide a comfortable ride.” Harley's acknowledgement form states Davidson's agreement with the terms Davidson proposed, including all specifications and pricing for the motorcycles. It also includes the following term, set forth in 12-point typeface just like the text in the remainder of the document: “All warranties, express and implied, are hereby disclaimed. Buyer takes the merchandise as is and with all faults.” On the reverse side of the form are 25 pre-printed terms in 9-point typeface. The last term, which is set apart from the other terms in a box, but written in smaller, 7-point typeface, is a term stating, “Acceptance is expressly made conditional on the Buyer’s agreement to all terms set forth in this confirmation. Buyer’s failure to notify Seller of any objection to these terms will constitute an acceptance of these terms.” Harley builds the motorcycles and ships them to Davidson, and Davidson submits payment. Davidson is dissatisfied with the quality of the motorcycles. The motorcycles are fine for off-road purposes and for normal city street driving. However, when the motorcycles are driven at high speeds, such as when they are driven on the freeway, they become very noisy (more so than the average motorcycle), the handlebars and seat shake significantly, and the exhaust emits a strong, foul odor. These problems make the motorcycles very uncomfortable to ride at high speeds, especially for long periods of time. Therefore, he sues Harley for breach of express warranties and the implied warranties of merchantability and of fitness for a particular purpose, seeking full recovery of the purchase price of the vehicles. Harley defends on the grounds that he has disclaimed all warranties. Assume the contract is governed by Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Please answer the following questions: (a) Is the warranty disclaimer part of the contract? (b). Assuming the warranty disclaimer part of the contract, is it enforceable? (c) Assuming, for this part only, that the warranty disclaimer is not enforceable, does Davidson have a valid claim for breach of any express warranties against Harley?
