The GC owners have questions and need clarification about several contract concepts and issues related to their new business. Specifically, they have questions about:

• the Statute of Frauds “writing requirement” and
• electronic contracts

Winne and Ralph have asked you to prepare examples and explanations of these 2 areas of contract law.

Instructions

To respond to the GC’s questions and concerns, you must prepare a fact scenario and be prepared to discuss the scenarios in a meeting with TLG and the GC owners.

Background: Generally, contracts for the sale of goods must be in writing, and the writing must be signed by the parties to the agreement, and the parties must be sufficiently identified. GC will be selling goods via the internet, and the owners are wondering whether these electronic contracts are valid and enforceable.

Hypothetical Scenario: Company X, a company in Illinois, contracted via the internet with Windows Bright, a small window washing business in Missouri to purchase 4 cases of Shiny Lite window cleaning solution at $200 per case. Company X paid via the internet with a company credit card. The contract stated that the 4 cases of Shiny Lite would be shipped to Company X’s place of business in Illinois via UPS.

A. Discuss whether the contract between X and Windows Bright is subject to the UCC Statute of Frauds.

B. Analyze and explain whether the internet electronic contract between X and Windows Bright satisfies the “writing” requirements for the Statute of Frauds? If so, how and why?
