Agreements are constantly being entered into for various purposes. A contract is binding in law and each party must deliver and perform according to their obligations as mutually agreed upon in the contract. Janice runs a bespoke luxury handbag boutique called La Bougee Boutique in an upmarket suburb of Durban. She buys and sells premium handbags. Janice has created a well-established name for herself in the fashion industry in South Africa. Janice has international clients who purchase handbags from her store. Her supplier Roderigo resides in Cape Town. Janice has a written contract in place with Roderigo which states that Roderigo will provide Janice with premium handbags which he imports from Italy. The contract shall span over a period of 2 years. One of Janice's obligations is to ensure that a part payment of 50% is transferred to Roderigo prior to the delivery of the handbags. The remainder shall be payed upon the delivery of the goods to her store. One of Roderigo's obligations is to ensure that all bags sold to Janice are authentic and suitable for sale.
