Question 13 - Consideration After a heated exchange, Mariana (the owner of "Relaxing Beauty") and Jacinda (the customer) calm down. Jacinda assures Mariana that the Flyer says $10 for a Massage and a Manicure. Mariana puts on her reading glasses and, when everything is in focus, she sees the mistake on the Flyer. She quickly realises that the printing company made a mistake. Jacinda has had enough. She collects her things and starts to head out the door. Mariana, not wanting to lose customers in the first month of being open, proposes a deal to Jacinda. Mariana says "sorry, it's a mistake from the printer. I'm really sorry about this. But, I can't provide a massage and a manicure for only $10 since I'll lose money." Jacinda says "fine. Whatever. I'm leaving. But, I will post this on my socials, make a webpage on my website and give this shop bad reviews everywhere I can." Mariana responds "I'm really sorry. It was a mistake. How about this? I'll have Suli perform the massage and Trina do the manicure for $10. But, in return, maybe you can do something for me? You said you run a website. Could you make "Relaxing Beauty" a nice website?" Jacinda, who works as a web developer, thinks that this is acceptable. She knows that it will take her about 30 minutes to make a decent website for Mariana. She agrees to deliver a website for "Relaxing Beauty" by the end of the week. After the massage and the manicure, Jacinda has Mariana load pictures of "Relaxing Beauty" on a flash drive. She will use these images when she develops the website. And J acinda says "I'll have your page by the end of the week" Jacinda leaves "Relaxing Beauty" in such a relaxed state that she forgets the Solid Gold compact vanity mirror her Grandmother left her upon passing away. Jacinda's work has just picked up 8 new clients. So, Jacinda does not have any time to make the website. Mariana, feeling upset that the website is still not completed, calls Jacinda. Mariana says "since you haven't done your part of the deal, you owe me $90. I am selling this compact vanity mirror, keeping the $90 you still owe me. And whatever is leftover, you can apply towards any future Massages at "Relaxing Beauty". Needless to say, Jacinda is very upset. She asks your advice on whether Mariana can do this. Advise Jacinda using only principles of Consideration in Contract Law
