[HENAN HIGH-QUALITY TV, LIMITED] is a Chinese company that has sold 1 000 television sets to IMAGEM FANTSTICA, SA [FANTASTIC IMAGE, PLC], a Brazilian company based in the State of Rondnia. The contract consisted of an e-mail sent on 13 April 2016 by the Brazilian company asking for the delivery within the following sixty days of 1 000 TV sets and indicating the reference number for the desired model. On the next day, the Chinese company accepted the order. Furthermore, it indicated that it was foreseeable that the delivery of the goods would happen thirty days after the payment of the respective price ( 150 000). As a result, the buyer paid the price due it that same day. Forty-six days after paying this price, the buyer lost a deal that would yield a 100 000 profit because the televisions had not yet been delivered. Twenty days later, as the buyer still did not have the merchandise, it lost another opportunity to sell all the TVs for a total profit of 75 000. The seller finally delivered the goods on 5 July 2016 (82 days after the price was paid). The Brazilian company sold all the devices on that same day for a profit of 50 000. May the buyer claim any damages to the seller?
