Blue Rorschach exercised the right to cover by procuring goods from another seller (Dell Computers) after Zenzo Electronics breached the contract and failed to deliver the laptops. By doing so, Blue Rorschach mitigated its damages and avoided a total loss. Additionally, Blue Rorschach also exercised the right to sue Zenzo Electronics for the breach of contract to recover damages.
