Liberty needs to make a presentation for a client from Parsons manufacturing company to explain whether the client has a valid case.  The client will be accompanied by in-house counsel from Parsons, so Liberty wants the presentation to be comprehensive in covering all contract law technicalities but must also be easy to understand. 

Liberty has asked you to make a PowerPoint to explain and summarize the information to be presented to the client at the meeting.   

Facts:   Parsons' manufacturing company is in the business of building chairs.  Quality Furniture Company (QFC) sent a Purchase Order to Parsons for 200 chairs at $50.00 per chair.  The QFC purchase order was silent as to a warranty.

Parsons responded by sending its acknowledgment form that stated 100 chairs were to be purchased at $50.00 per chair.  Preprinted on a Parsons sales form was the statement that "all chairs are warranted for 60 days as to defects and workmanship." 

Parsons sent the 200 chairs and QFC accepted them and paid in full.   Thirty days later, QFC noticed that the chairs were splintering due to faulty workmanship.  

Instructions:  Make a PowerPoint (PPT) comparing the common law mirror image rule with the UCC battle of the forms and evaluating the Parsons - QFC contract for purchase of chairs.

The PPT should address the following:
 

1. Evaluate and explain the meaning of the common law Mirror Image Rule
   1. Give a brief example of an agreement that reflects the common law Mirror Image Rule
2. Evaluate and explain the meaning of the Battle of the Forms under the UCC
3. Analyze and explain the meaning of UCC 2-207(1), 2-207(2) and 2-207 (3)
4. Analyze and explain whether, under the common law Mirror Image Rule, Parsons and QFC would have a valid, enforceable contract
5. Analyze and explain whether, under the UCC 2-207 (1), Parsons and QFC would have a valid, enforceable contract
6. Analyze and explain whether, under UCC 2-207(2), the Parsons-QFC agreement includes a warranty(ies)

Formatting 

• An opening slide with your name, class name and number and date of submission
• An Introductory slide is always appropriate and appreciated
• A Summary or Conclusion slide is also appropriate
• The Speaker Notes on a final slide titled "Resources" should reflect the full APA or Bluebook citation of all resources. (Note: There should be an in-text citation in the Speaker Notes narrative wherever a supportive resource is referenced.)
