Seattle Shoestring Sales, Inc. arranged to sell shoestrings to Victory, Inc., a tennis shoe manufacturer.According to the terms of the deal, Seattle Shoestring Sales committed to sell Victory whatever number of shoestrings it will produce next year, at seventy-five cents per pair.

Since entering into their agreement, the price of cotton has skyrocketed five hundred percent.To produce shoestrings, Seattle Shoestring Sales' cost alone will be approximately $1.50 per pair.Seattle Shoestring Sales has informed Victory that it cannot and will not honor the deal.

Is there an enforceable contract between Seattle Shoestring Sales, Inc. and Victory, Inc.? Is the failure to include a quantity term in the agreement fatal to its enforceability? What about the fact that the price of cotton dramatically increased after the companies reached their agreement? Should a court or other arbiter increase the per-pair contract price to account for the increase in the price of cotton, and then enforce the agreement?
