Air Jamaica Vacations (AJV) requested bids from printing firms to produce travel

Question

Air Jamaica Vacations (AJV) requested bids from printing firms to produce travel brochures. Moore Graphic Services (Moore) responded with an offer quoting prices and terms for an agreement to produce between 100,000 and 250,000 brochures. The offer stated that sales tax would be charged and requested that AJV indicate its acceptance by signing and returning the offer. Moore then contacted one of its vendors, Starr Printing Co. (Starr), about producing the brochures and sent AJV samples of the work to be performed. Meanwhile, AJV returned the offer with some modified terms, including a handwritten notation, “no tax.” Moore then told Starr it was putting “the job” on hold and told AJV that it could not perform “the job” because of a dispute about the tax. Starr printed the brochures and demanded payment. AJV refused, claiming in part that the brochures were of “poor quality.” Starr filed a suit in a federal district court against AJV. AJV filed a suit against Moore, claiming a breach of contract for giving the job to Starr. Moore filed a motion for summary judgment, on the ground that there was no contract. Did Moore and AJV have a contract? Why or why not? Please explain.

Explanation / Answer

Answer :

No Moore and AJV did not have a contract since AJV made modifications to the contract, singed it and sent it to Moore. ,post which Moore would have had to resign on the changed clauses the and contract to affirm their acceptance of the new clauses stated in the contract. Which is why Moor's motion for a summary judgement would be granted and courts would rule in the favour of Moor.

Summary Judgement : A summary judgement is a legal scenario where the court dismiss claims of the plaintiff against the defence due to the lack of circumstantial evidence in a case.

As far as Starr's suite against AJV are concerned since AJV never had any contracts or agreements or Memorandum of Understanding with Starr, so if AJV files for a summary judgement against Moor, it would be granted and courts would rule in the favour of Moor.
