Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a voidable contract because Jennifer made false misrepresentations about the age of the laptop, which induced Jack to enter into the agreement. As such, Jack has the option to void the contract. However, it is not a unilateral contract (where one party promises to do something in exchange for an act by the other party) and the UCC does not apply here since it is a contract for the sale of a good between two individuals.
