Internet-Based Contracting Issues

Instructions:

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze internet-based contracting issues, such as online contract formation; to determine the requirements for performance and breach of online contracts; and to develop enforceable methods for dispute resolution.

Read the following scenario.

Great Buys is an internet-based company headquartered in New York that sells household electronics to consumers in the United States. The management team at Great Buys has some concerns about its online contracting process.

• Great Buys isn't sure it has a binding contract with its customers because the contract is completely online and inelectronic format.

• Customers have argued they are not bound to the online contract because there's no handwritten "pen and ink"signature.

• Great Buys also wants to know if any international laws will apply when the company starts selling its electronicproducts internationally.

• Great Buys has been sued in different state courts all over the country, and it would like to know if an arbitrationclause requiring that arbitration be conducted in New York

    City will be enforceable.

• Finally, Great Buys wants one or two suggestions for improving its internal business procedures so that customerproduct complaints don't turn into contract-related claims or lawsuits. Great Buys' management team asks you, the company's contract manager, to work with your team and address their concerns.

• Create a 7- to 10-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that provides answers to all of Great Buys' concernsabove. Your Learning Team can incorporate graphics, animation, or interactive Microsoft PowerPoint features, such as Designer and Morph (some features require a valid Microsoft Office 365 subscription), consistent with the University of Phoenix's guidelines for use of third-party materials. Your Learning Team should determine how to allocate tasks among team members and submit a single Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (do not submit presentations by individual

Learning Team members).

Cite a minimum of two references.
