Relevant factsFree
After Costco (plaintiff) complained about jewelry quality from an initial written purchase order, Worldwide (defendant) offered an oral rebate conditioned on Costco agreeing to purchase an additional, unwritten quantity of jewelry; when Costco wouldn't commit to the extra purchase, Worldwide refused to pay the rebate, and the trial court granted Costco summary judgment.
IssueFree
Whether, where a purchase agreement is orally modified to include a price rebate and additional quantities ordered, both modifications are enforceable under the UCC statute of frauds.
