The Hutch Fashions sends out its spring and summer catalog to Liz. Liz falls in love with the cute dress featured on the front cover of the catalog. When Liz calls to order the dress, she is informed that the company has sold out of the dress. Liz is upset and claims that the store is in breach of contract. She argues that the catalog presented an offer, which she accepted when she called to order the dress. Is CindyLiz correct? Why/why not?

Answer: NO. a Contract of sale is valid when two parties reach an agreement and all essentials of a valid contract have been met, CIndyLiz calling the store that is when she and the store were trying to reach an agreement, which didnot happen

Explanation:

a contract of sale is valid when two parties enter into an agreement and all essentials of a valid contract have been met, CIndyLiz calling the store that is when she and the store were trying to enter into an agreement, which did not happen because the dress is out of stock. A catalog does not amount to an agreement with Cindyliz or anyone.

Cindyliz is wrong in this situation

Both Cindyliz and The Hutch Fashions did not signed any contract that specify the obligation that The Hutch Fashions need to sell a certain type of product to Cindyliz. She just obtained a summer catalogue, not a purchase order. A catalogue only filled with list of product information that company sold.
