Exercise 1

Sonja orders two new model X23 McIntyre ovens from a local company, Western Heating Appliances. The purchase price of the two ovens is $16,000. Sonja and Western Heating agree orally, via the telephone, that Western will deliver the ovens within two weeks and that Sonja will pay for the ovens when they are delivered. Two days later, Sonja receives a fax from Western confirming her order. Shortly thereafter, but before Western delivers the ovens, Sonja learns that she can obtain model X23 McIntyre ovens from another company at a much lower price. Sonja asks Western if she can cancel her order, but Western states that it intends to enforce the contract. Is the contract enforceable against Sonja? Explain.
