BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Things have been moving quickly for the PI owners. They are almost ready to open operations. An important next step is to finalize negotiations to contract with Naturals to purchase paint and paint supplies. PI wants a clause in the contract with Naturals that PI would buy paint and paint products exclusively from Naturals for three years. The contract will also include a product description that all paints are zero-VOC.

Recently, PI owners have learned that although some of Naturals paint products are zero-VOC, most Naturals paint contains 1-5% VOCs, and thus, is not actually zero-VOC.

Under state and federal regulations, paint products that contain less than 8% VOCs can legally be categorized as a zero-VOC green product. However, PI has already begun advertising and marketing its business and paint as zero-VOC.

Naturals paint products are 15-20% less expensive than other equivalent paint products on the market. PI is unsure whether to continue its plan to contract with Naturals for use of Naturals' paint.

The PI owners are concerned about possible liabilities for PI if it uses Naturals’ products under the new contract. PI has again come to BCA for advice.

The PI owners believe they have several choices regarding Naturals paint products:

Those choice are:

Choice 1: Continue PI’s plan to sign a contract with Naturals, use Naturals paint exclusively, and advertise and market the paint as zero-VOC paint because Naturals paint legally can be categorized as zero-VOC paint under state and federal regulations.

Choice 2: Discontinue contract negotiations with Naturals and opt to purchase similarly-priced paints from a manufacturer in Mexico. The Mexico company is a new company and one with which PI has no experience. The Mexico company claims all its paint are zero-VOC and its paint supplies are chemical-free.

Your BCA supervisors, Pat Braden and Gale Roth, have given you the responsibility of researching and analyzing possible legal implications and potential risks and liabilities regarding the decision facing the PI owners about whether to continue buying paint products from Naturals.

There are 2 options for the assignment product format.

Option 1: Research and prepare a Power Point + video presentation (i.e., using Office Mix, etc.) regarding PIs options. The Power Point + video should analyze and discuss each possible choice available to PI and the associated advantages, risks and liabilities for each choice.

If you choose this option, you will be creating a "written" visual product for the project in the Power Point AND an oral and visual video to further explain and clarify the power point slides.

The Power Point slides must include written notes/details fully explaining each possible choice available to PI and the associated advantages, risks and liabilities. Each point you make, each concept and issue must be fully explained specifically and in detail.

You may use bulleted points on the slides, but the slides need to be comprehensive and complete, so they could "stand alone" without the additional explanation of the video.

Option 2: Prepare a Power Point + written memorandum regarding PI’s options. The Power Point + memorandum should analyze and discuss each possible choice available to PI and the associated advantages, risks and liabilities for each choice.

If you choose this option, you will be creating a "written" visual product for the project in the Power Point AND an accompanying written memorandum to further explain and clarify the power point slides.

You may use bulleted points on the slides, but the slides need to be comprehensive and complete, so they could "stand alone" without the additional explanation of the memorandum.

Part I:

Choice 1: PI should continue its plan to sign a contract with Naturals, use Naturals paint exclusively, and advertise and market the paint as zero-VOC paint because Naturals paint legally can be categorized as zero-VOC paint under state and federal regulations.

(1) Provide an example of each legal risk and liability.

Proofread for spelling and grammatical issues, and third person writing.

- Use the spell and grammar check in Word;
- Have someone who has excellent English skills proof the paper;
- Consider submitting the project to the Effective Writing Center (EWC). The EWC will provide 4-6 areas that may need improvement.

I picked Choice 1(doing business with Natural Inc.) and Option 2 (ppt + memorandum) for my project.
