Question

Spangel Fashions sends out its spring and summer catalog to Cindy. Cindy falls in love with the cute dress featured on the front cover of the catalog. When Cindy calls to order the dress, she is informed that the company has sold out of the dress. Cindy is upset and claims that the store is in breach of contract. She argues that the catalog presented an offer, which she accepted when she called to order the dress. Is Cindy correct

Answer 1

No, Cindy is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is that the placing of the item on the front cover of the catalog means that the company has offered an invitation to treat. Which means it is an offer to make an offer to purchase the item placed in the catalog. So the company or the shopkeeper, has the right to accept offer made by the Cindy.
