Question:
rain check for an advertised sale item after Soon-Shop’s supply of
the product ran out. The rain check was in writing and stated
that the item would be offered to the customer at the advertised
sale price for an unspecified period of time. A Soon-Shop employee
signed the rain check. When Patch returned to the store
one month later to purchase the item, the store refused to honor
the rain check. Under the Sales Article of the UCC, will Patch
win a suit to enforce the rain check?
No, because one month is too long a period of time for
a rain check to be effective.
No, because the rain check did not state the effective
time period necessary to keep the offer open.
Yes, because Soon-Shop is required to have sufficient
supplies of the sale item to satisfy all customers.
Yes, because the rain check met the requirements of a
merchant’s firm offer even though no effective time period
was stated.
