Marie recently opened a craft store and ordered a large amount of merchandise from a single supplier, Crafts 'R Us. When she negotiated the order, which is for more than $10,000, the supplier agreed to provide terms. Marie was authorized to receive the material after paying 10% of the total price, with the balance due within 90 days of the receipt of the material. Marie submitted a check to Crafts 'R Us for $1,000, and the check was cashed. The supplier shipped only half of the total order and is now refusing to ship the rest until Marie pays the balance of $9,000. Marie was counting on being able to sell some of the merchandise as a way to pay for the outstanding balance. Without the merchandise, she will be unable to generate enough income to pay for the rest of the order, and she has very little savings, certainly not enough to pay the balance of the order. Marie has come to our firm. What legal issues are presented by her situation?
