Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best argument for Entrepreneur Enterprises would be that a unilateral mistake, where only one party makes an error, does not afford relief from a contract. In this case, Digital Storage, Inc. made the mistake in transposing the digits, and Entrepreneur Enterprises accepted the offer without knowledge of the mistake. Thus, a unilateral mistake may not be a valid basis to void the contract.
