Question:
As of law, this is also more of a Business Law question, but pretty sure still relevant to Law related subject.
Short scenario is this. Sam created an invention and made a promise to a chain store to deliver 1,000 units so they can exclusively sell his invention. 7 months later, the chain store mailed him saying they want the 1,000 units that Sam promised, but Sam never shipped them out.
My question is this. I want to assume that there is no valid contract between Sam and the store. Could the chain store prevail on a claim of either "Quasi-contract" and/or "Promissory Estoppel" since there was only the intention to offer, and not a valid contract?
