Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a voidable contract because Robert, being a minor at the time of making the contract, had the right to disaffirm it. Since he disaffirmed it within a reasonable time after turning 18 and returned the laptop, the contract becomes voidable at his option. Therefore, Robert is not bound by the terms of this contract.
