Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) section 2-201 requires that contracts for the sale of goods priced at $500 or more must be in writing, and the writing must be signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought or by their authorized agent. This is commonly referred to as the Statute of Frauds. While an electronic record can also serve as a valid writing under the UCC, some requirements must be met to satisfy the writing requirement, such as accessibility and ability to retain the record.
