Legal Question in Business Law in Nevada

Re: buisness law

The Nevada Uniform Commercial Code provisions on the sale of goods, includes a statute of frauds law, which reads:

NRS 104.2201 Formal requirements; statute of frauds.

1. Except as otherwise provided in this section a contract for the sale of goods for the price of $500 or more is not enforceable by way of action or defense unless there is some writing sufficient to indicate that a contract for sale has been made between the parties and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought or by his authorized agent or broker. A writing is not insufficient because it omits or incorrectly states a term agreed upon but the contract is not enforceable under this subsection beyond the quantity of goods shown in such writing.

2. Between merchants if within a reasonable time a writing in confirmation of the contract and sufficient against the sender is received and the party receiving it has reason to know its contents, it satisfies the requirements of subsection 1 against such party unless written notice of objection to its contents is given within 10 days after it is received.

3. A contract which does not satisfy the requirements of subsection 1 but which is valid in other respects is enforceable:

(a) If the goods are to be specially manufactured for the buyer and are not suitable for sale to others in the ordinary course of the seller�s business and the seller, before notice of repudiation is received and under circumstances which reasonably indicate that the goods are for the buyer, has made either a substantial beginning of their manufacture or commitments for their procurement; or

(b) If the party against whom enforcement is sought admits in his pleading, testimony or otherwise in court that a contract for sale was made, but the contract is not enforceable under this provision beyond the quantity of goods admitted; or

(c) With respect to goods for which payment has been made and accepted or which have been received and accepted (NRS 104.2606).

(Added to NRS by 1965, 787)

Re: buisness law

If the invoice is higher than your verbal agreement it is a counteroffer which you can accept or reject. However, if the invoice is a mistake then you are bound by the verbal agreement you made with the seller.
