Blue Rorschach exercised the remedy of cover by purchasing 100 laptops from Dell Computers as a substitute after Zenzo Electronics breached the contract and failed to deliver the 80 laptops. By purchasing substitute goods, Blue Rorschach was able to mitigate its damages by obtaining goods from another source at a similar price. Blue Rorschach also exercised the remedy of suing Zenzo Electronics for the breach of contract in order to recover any damages incurred as a result of the breach. The other remedies listed, replevy of goods, recovery of damages for accepted nonconforming goods, and specific performance, are not applicable in this scenario.
