Kevin made a unilateral mistake by not noticing that the model he was purchasing was a semi-automatic machine. As he did not inform the salesperson about his requirement for a fully automatic machine, it cannot be considered as fraud in concealment or innocent misrepresentation on the store's part. Therefore, he cannot demand a refund or sue the store. He can only keep the semi-automatic machine.
