Contracts
A Connecticut buyer signs a purchase agreement. The contract includes a 'no oral modification' clause. Two weeks later, the seller verbally agrees to include the refrigerator in the sale. Under contract law:
AThe verbal agreement to include the refrigerator is binding
BThe 'no oral modification' clause may be enforceable, meaning the refrigerator inclusion would need to be added in a written amendment✓ Correct
CThe verbal agreement is binding only if witnessed by the broker
DThe buyer can sue for the refrigerator based on promissory estoppel
Explanation
A 'no oral modification' clause requires all changes to the contract to be in writing. While parties can waive such clauses by course of conduct, to be safe and enforceable, the refrigerator agreement should be added to the contract as a written amendment signed by both parties.
