Scenic Trips, Inc. breached the contract by canceling it ten days later. As a result, River Gear Company can recover the contract price but must hold on to the rafts until it can find another buyer. This is because River Gear has a duty to mitigate its damages, which means they must try to limit the losses they suffer as a result of the breach. If River Gear cannot mitigate its damages, then it may be able to recover the contract price and keep the rafts. However, in this case, it is stated that River Gear was unable to sell the rafts to another buyer, so they must hold on to them until they can find a buyer or Scenic Trips decides to accept the rafts and pay for them.
