Question:
Tim agreed to dry clean Ema’s new Gucci suit. Emma was to pay $30 for Tim’s dry cleaning services. Tim runs a private and very small dry cleaning business. Tims’s customers are limited to her friends and close families. Tim’s business is very successful. Tim’s motto in life is “less stress and more happiness” Tim has no interest in expanding business. When Emma dropped her suit she received a note which included Tim’s details, business address etc. Some other details were written on the note e.g. details of suit (color, size, brand etc.) date of collection of suit and the deposit paid. At the back of the invoice there was a clause in very small letters “leave your clothes at your own risk and I will not bear any liability for loss or damage.” Ema collected her suit from Tim’s place the next afternoon. The suit was nicely packed in a plastic. When Ema took out the suit at home she noticed a large scorch mark at the back of the suit.
