2. The exclusion/limitation clauses in the contract with POTL are likely to be valid under English law.
(a) As the contract was signed by POTL and Banana UK Ltd (Banana’s UK subsidiary), and both companies are English companies, the contract is under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 (“UCTA”). According to UCTA, whether the exclusion/limitation clauses in the contract are valid will be influenced by the following factors: the strength of the bargaining positions; the inducement the customer received to sign the contract; whether the customer knew or ought reasonably to had known of the existence and the extent of the term; where the term excludes or restricts any relevant liability if some condition was not complied with, whether it was reasonable

iv. where the term excludes or restricts any relevant liability if some condition was not complied with, whether it was reasonable at the time of the contract to expect that compliance with that condition would be practicable
The negotiation between the two parties lasted many weeks, and during the negotiation, POTL gave Banana samples of the chips and reduce the price slightly as concessions. Due to the length of time, the court would find it reasonable for Banana, an experienced business party, to have weighed the advantages and disadvantages carefully and made its final decision.

The trial court held for Zapatha. Dairy mart appealed. In Zapatha v Dairy Mart, 381 Mass. 284; N.E. 2d. 1370 there are two issues at hand. 1) Does the unconscionability of an agreement depend on whether at the time of execution the contract provision at issue could result in unfair surprise and was oppressive to the allegedly disadvantaged party; and 2) Whether a merchant seeking to terminate a business agreement must act in good faith by practicing honesty in fact and observing reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing in that trade.
Evans argues that all possible violations of the Anti-Trust Act could be divided into one of two categories: contracts in restraints of trade, and restrictions on competition. By dividing potential cases into these groups and applying different means of measurement, Evans claims one can discern more accurately which side of the legal line each case falls. Evans surmises that, in the case of contracts in restraint of trade, “applying the common law test of reasonableness” (Evans pg. 72) stands as the best means of measuring a contract’s legal validity. This changes when considering restraints on competition, in which Evans claims the “test of extent” (Evans, pg. 72) to be the most accurate means of testing legality. Evans defends his hypothesis by applying this procedure to all the Supreme Court cases between 1890 and 1910.

The first section states, essentially, that any contract that will restrict trade between states and/or foreign nations is illegal. The second section states that anyone who attempts to monopolize a market has committed a felony. While these two may sound quite similar, there is one major distinction between the two. The first section is concerned primarily with contracts that restrain trade, whereas the second section is more concerned with the structural elements of monopolies.
Chapter 2 titled “The Law of the Few,” changed my perspective on how I see people’s capabilities in society. This chapter of The Tipping Point introduces readers to three types of people, connectors, mavens, and salesmen. Gladwell tells the story of Paul Revere and William Dawes who set out to accomplish the same goal, but ultimately the success rate for Revere is much higher. Gladwell uses Paul Revere’s to exemplify exactly what it is that mavens do, which is providing change through information and ideology.

Without a doubt, the legacy of Newcomb’s paradox remains prevalent in the contemporary era. Essentially, the paradox brings to attention a striking conflict between two particular intuitions in regards to decision-making. Furthermore, it points out that what may appear to be the most rational choice could actually bring about a worse outcome than what may appear to be the irrational choice. Most importantly, the paradox incites a sense of ambiguity and raises questions about the degree of free will in the case of decision making. Throughout this essay, I will be detailing the paradox’s various components and analyzing it’s two unique approaches in order to ultimately argue that the choice to one-box yields more reward in the end.
He hasn’t claimed a horizontal agreement and because his antitrust theory is hereby novel, the court doesn’t apply a per se rule of illegality. The court subject O’Bannon’s claims to a rule of reason analysis. He shows how the market is a “collegiate licensing market” for the United States. The products are for the rights to use images of the athletes involved with a collegiate sport; if these rights were not accepted licenses they couldn’t promote and dispense their products legally. He shows that the NCAA and its members, including agreements for athletic events, enter agreements.
