Section 3 The Formation of Sales and Lease Contracts In regard to the formation of sales and lease contracts, the UCC modifies the common law in...

This is information / facts you MUST use to draft the contract

SLO Project: Please help me do a written contract (rental agreement) using the following information ONLY:

Facts: You are the new owner of a small ski resort here in California. The name of the ski resort will include your last name: Example - "Smith Ski Center." You need to write contract (rental agreement) for your customers who will be using your ski facility. The agreement / contract covers the rental of skis, poles, and lift-tickets. In addition to all of the general information in the rental agreement / contract: name of your ski facility, name of customer, type / amount of skis, poles, lift ticket information, rental fees, etc. - (Note - the General Rental Information - ski equipment, lift ticket, etc are not the things I am focusing on. I want to see the protective clauses listed below incorporated into your rental agreement)

The key here!!!! you wish to reduce your legal liability as much as possible - therefore you MUST include the following clauses in your contract / agreement. My grade will be based on these legal clauses not the general information). ADD ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CLAUSES to your written contract / agreement. Also - Please add ONE (1) additional legal clauses of your choice - in addition to the ones listed below.

All of the below listed clauses below MUST be in your written contract: ( I suggest you look-up / research / Google the below legal clauses)

1. Exculpatory Clause - not responsible for injuries

2. Add an Arbitration clause to your agreement naming AAA (American Arbitration Association) as the arbitrator.

3. Clause - Parties to this contract agree to split the cost of Arbitration

4. A Forum Selection clause - should the matter go to court in spite of the Arbitration clause or on appeal, parties agree to use a California court.

5. Law Governing clause - Law governing any / all litigation will be California state law.

6. Prevailing Party Clause -- Should the matter go to a court of law, the prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees.

7. Clause - contract is Severable and / or Divisble clause

8. ALSO - One Additional LEGAL CLAUSE of your choice must be added to your contract. - Note: Please place an * ASTERISK in front of this clause - so I can spot it.

In addition to your on-line discussion with other students here on Canvas - I suggest you use your text book, a law dictionary, and any other legal source - to assist you with putting together your SLO project / written contract. The LACC library, in the law section, has a nice collection of aids on contract formation if interested. Also - Located at the end of Chapter 20 (Appendix) of your text you should find an "example of a contract for the sale of coffee" to get some ideas.

**Do Not, I repeat - do not turn in or create contracts unrelated to the scenario I have given you above! No real estate contracts, apartment rental agreements, retail sales agreements, etc. - you will NOT receive credit for unrelated agreements! Simply follow the instructions above, communicate with fellow students on the DISCUSSION link here on Etudes, or send your questions to me.
