Triple A Batteries sells batteries in Bulk. Their customers typically buy thousands of batteries in a single order. The battery sizes vary, but they are shipped together in large crates and are usually delivered to warehouses for storage. Triple A knows that sometimes these batteries can be left in storage for months (or even years) before being used. As such, they are concerned that their customers will be upset if some of the batteries no longer work. For this reason, they include in their contracts the following language: "Triple A Batteries makes every attempt to deliver quality products and stands behind its batteries. However, given the size of the orders the buyer acknowledges that some of the batteries delivered may not be in working order and agrees that Triple A Batteries shall not be held liable in the event that some of the batteries delivered do not function as requested." Triple A delivers a shipment of 10,000 batteries to Golden Age Toys. In that shipment, 13 batteries were found to be defective. Golden Age Toys is furious. Which of the following is correct.

Question 8 options:

a. The contract has been breached and Golden Age Toys need not pay for the order

b. A minor breach of contract occurred so Golden Age Toys must pay for the contract but may request a deduction in the fee

c. The contract contained a Formulatory term which exempted liability for the seller. Thus, Golden Age Toys must pay the full amount

d. The clause in the contract protected Triple A from liability and they are not liable for the defective batteries.

e. Both C & D

f. Both A & C

Deirdre bought a secondhand car from Honest Harry's Autos after being assured by Harry, in response to her questions, that the car had been driven only in good weather by the little old lady from whom he had purchased it. He claimed that was why its mileage was so low, and that it had never, (according to the little old lady), had so much as a scratch. "That's excellent," said Deirdre. "If it had been otherwise, I wouldn't have bought it."

Deirdre soon began having trouble with the car pulling to one side when she applied the brakes, so she took it into the garage for a wheel alignment. The mechanic said "Why on earth would you buy this old heap? Granny Moses, that wild old lady, drove this thing like a madwoman, and it's never been the same since her last crash."
