TASK - PLEASE ASSESS THE ABOVE INFORMATION AND FIND ALL LEGAL ISSUES RELATION TO CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO FORM A MEMORANDUM.( you do not need to made a memorandum, just locate the legal issues)

Please provide case law to support your legal issues.

Scenario - Second Hand Rose would like clarity in relation to the contractual effect of a number of emails concerning a transaction between them and a company they engaged to restore the deck of their beer garden, Coastal Deck Co.

- Daisy did not read the terms and conditions that Leo attached in his email.

- Daisy did not clean or sweep the deck before Coastal Decking Co arrived.

Workers from Coastal Decking Co arrived on the morning of 25 August and used a power hose to clean the deck. Many of the decking boards disintegrated under the pressure. The deck can't presently be used as it presents a risk to patrons.

Coastal Decking Co applied the sealant before the deck was completely dry, resulting in a number of ugly whitish patches.

At the end of the day, Daisy was shocked by the amount on the invoice. She is a small woman and felt intimidated by the workers who refused to leave until she paid the entire amount through Coastal Decking Co's eftpos machine, so she paid the entire amount of the invoice.

Hi Team,

I was browsing through your website and see that you offer a 'deck refresh'. Our beer garden deck is looking scruffy. It

is 50 square metres. Can you do us a deal?
