Discussion 1
Every day we enter into contracts. For example we enter into a simple contract when we purchase food at the grocery store as we are receiving goods in exchange for payment of those goods. Another example is a cell phone contract.
When a person purchases a cell phone and obtains service for the phone there is an agreement that the product and service will be given to the user in exchange for payment. These are examples of bilateral contracts. As you know businesses need contracts to survive in the marketplace from suppliers, employees, and vendors.
What are the four elements necessary to form an enforceable traditional contract or an e-contract? What affect does lack of contractual capacity have on any of the three elements? How might a deficiency in contractual capacity, related to contract formation, be corrected?
