Karen ran a small office supply store in Akron, Ohio. Her main supplier was ABC Office Supply of Stamford, CT. The two parties had worked together for a very long time. Until a dispute arose over a hastily made order by one of Karen's subordinates without her consent one day, the arrangement had been perfect. Karen felt they were overcharged for the items and ABC felt that Karen's store should have to pay for and keep the items in the order because they were special ordered items that have no use for any other buyer.

For purposes of this question only, assume that ADR did not work.As well, the employee of Karen states that he never ordered the disputed items. He said that he only called ABC to ask what they would cost for a customer that was standing in the store inquiring about those items. The only person from Karen's company that ever called to make an order from ABC was Karen. No other employees were authorized to make orders.

List all possible options that may allow Karen to escape liability on this breach of contract issue.
