Scenario: Landmark Company is a US-based business that sells iron tables to retailers in the US. The tables are purchased from individual metalsmiths, from US wholesale suppliers, and suppliers in Mexico.
Landmark ordered by telephone 300 iron tables to be shipped by April 1 from Metal Elements, Inc., another US company. No other sales terms were discussed. Landmark followed up the telephone call with an email to Metal Elements confirming the number of tables in the order and the delivery date, but did not discuss price. Metal Elements did not respond but shipped the tables as ordered to Landmark by April 1 at a price of $700 each, totaling $210,000.
Landmark's new Director of Purchasing, Payton Mann, is concerned about whether Landmark is bound to accept the tables from Metal Elements since Landmark had no formal acceptance or written correspondence Metal Elements. Payton is also concerned about the price of the tables which is higher than she had expected to pay. She emails you, one of the Landmark owners, to explain the situation with Metal Elements and to seek your advice about the sales.
Respond to Payton via email including:
A. An analysis and explanation of whether this is a valid contract between Landmark and Metal Elements, and why or why not; suggest to Payton how this situation should be handled;
B. For Payton's future information, include in the email a hypothetical situation in which the same facts apply as in the Landmark - Metal Elements order except that, upon inspection, fifty of the tables delivered from Metal Elements were damaged; provide an analysis of Landmark's options and suggestions for resolving this situation with Metal Elements.
