Paperback. Contract law decides which promises a court will enforce and which ones it will ignore. This book explains where that line sits, in plain English, and then walks you through every rule built on top of it. The nine chapters follow the path a real dispute takes, from the first offer through formation, performance, breach, and the money a judge awards at the end. American doctrine is handled together in one place: the common law, the Uniform Commercial Code, and the Restatement (Second) of Contracts, with a note on which one governs a given deal. Each chapter builds on the one before it, so the doctrines connect instead of landing as a pile of separate rules to memorize. Nine chapters, in the order a dispute unfolds: - Offer, acceptance, and the objective theory of assent, including the mailbox rule and the battle of the forms under UCC 2-207 - Consideration, illusory promises, past consideration, and the preexisting duty rule - Promissory estoppel, and when reliance alone makes a promise stick without a bargain behind it - The defenses that undo an agreement that looked valid: minority, duress, undue influence, fraud in the inducement, mutual mistake, and bargains struck down on public policy grounds - The Statute of Frauds, plus how E-SIGN and UETA treat email, text messages, and electronic signatures - Reading the terms: parol evidence, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness, unconscionability in adhesion contracts, and the duty of good faith - Conditions precedent and subsequent, substantial performance, perfect tender, impossibility, impracticability, and frustration of purpose - Material breach, anticipatory repudiation, cover, and buyer and seller remedies under Article 2 - Damages measured by expectation, reliance, or restitution, with Hadley v. Baxendale on foreseeability, plus specific performance, liquidated damages, and the penalty clauses courts refuse to enforce Four sections after the main text make the material stick: a timeline running from the Roman stipulatio through the medieval writ system to modern statutes, worked answers to the discussion question closing each chapter, a glossary defining more than eighty terms in a line each, and a reading list pointing to Farnsworth, Fried, and Gilmore. Written for readers with no legal training: - Law students starting their first contracts course - Paralegals and pre-law readers who want the doctrine in order - Business owners and freelancers who sign agreements they did not draft - Anyone who wants to read an agreement without a lawyer translating it Finish the book and you can look at a signed agreement and see what it actually does. You will know where it might fail, what your options are when the other side stops performing, and which clauses shift risk onto you before any dispute begins. Indemnification, force majeure, choice of law, arbitration, and limitation of liability stop being boilerplate you scroll past. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Contract law decides which promises a court will enforce and which ones it will ignore. This book explains where that line sits, in plain English, and then walks you through every rule built on top of it.
The nine chapters follow the path a real dispute takes, from the first offer through formation, performance, breach, and the money a judge awards at the end. American doctrine is handled together in one place: the common law, the Uniform Commercial Code, and the Restatement (Second) of Contracts, with a note on which one governs a given deal.
Each chapter builds on the one before it, so the doctrines connect instead of landing as a pile of separate rules to memorize.
Nine chapters, in the order a dispute unfolds:
- Offer, acceptance, and the objective theory of assent, including the mailbox rule and the battle of the forms under UCC 2-207
- Consideration, illusory promises, past consideration, and the preexisting duty rule
- Promissory estoppel, and when reliance alone makes a promise stick without a bargain behind it
- The defenses that undo an agreement that looked valid: minority, duress, undue influence, fraud in the inducement, mutual mistake, and bargains struck down on public policy grounds
- The Statute of Frauds, plus how E-SIGN and UETA treat email, text messages, and electronic signatures
- Reading the terms: parol evidence, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness, unconscionability in adhesion contracts, and the duty of good faith
- Conditions precedent and subsequent, substantial performance, perfect tender, impossibility, impracticability, and frustration of purpose
- Material breach, anticipatory repudiation, cover, and buyer and seller remedies under Article 2
- Damages measured by expectation, reliance, or restitution, with Hadley v. Baxendale on foreseeability, plus specific performance, liquidated damages, and the penalty clauses courts refuse to enforce
Four sections after the main text make the material stick: a timeline running from the Roman stipulatio through the medieval writ system to modern statutes, worked answers to the discussion question closing each chapter, a glossary defining more than eighty terms in a line each, and a reading list pointing to Farnsworth, Fried, and Gilmore.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento
El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
