Summary
A breach of condition occurs when a fundamental term of a contract, such as the specific car model and color, is not met. A standard form contract is a non-negotiable take it or leave it agreement. A force majeure clause addresses unforeseen events like pandemics, relieving parties from liability. A cancellation clause allows a party to terminate an agreement with notice. Understanding these concepts can help in navigating contract law effectively.Full Conversation
