    Part 2
    Task 1

    Which of the following statements regarding the seller’s obligations under the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is correct?

    1.The supplier does not have to pay for goods that are damaged in transit

    2.Loss of or damage to the goods before they reach the buyer makes the seller responsible and therefore discarges the buyer from their obligation to pay the price

    3.Loss of or damage to the goods before they reach the buyer makes the buyer responsible and therefore discharges the seller from their obligation to pay the price

    4. Loss of ,or damage to the goods after the risk has passed to the buyer does not discharge them from their obligation to pay price , unless the loss or damage is due to an act or omission of the seller

    Is 4 the correct answer ur help amd assistance will be valuable and appreciated

    TASK 2
    Is Riley obliged to pay for the computers and for what reason?

    1.Yes, because he should have checked that they were correctly packaged

    2.No, because they were not packaged in the manner required by the contract

    3.Yes, because the risk has already passed to him

    4.No, because they were damaged before he received them

    2 bcz I m kinda confused that the customer Riley shouldn’t pay for the goods that are damaged he can return the damaged goods or require them to be required but keep the ones that r proper

    <- Task 3

    Which of the following about the liability for the contract is true?

    1 Riley would be found to be liable on the basis that he ordered the transport so he should have checked that the packaging was secure

    2.Riley could not claim damages against Kaitlyn, nor would Riley be liable to pay but Riley would have to pay the transport costs

    3. Kalyn cannot be found to be liable on the basis that she did not arrange transport so therefore Riley must pay

    4.Riley could avoid the contract and could claim damages for purchasing the new computers and the cost of transport

    I would like to cross check my answers
    4Riley could only avoid the contract and claim damages so that would be fundamental breach not necessarily he has to avoid the contract

    Well, Safiya, here we go again!

    What do the answers say and why do you disagree with them?

    Let me know your specific areas of disagreement and I’ll try to explain

    OK?

    Just one minute! Answer me this – how come you have complete questions but you don’t have answers?

    Is this school / college assignment work?

    Another matter! In the question above, there are multiple characters and I’m finding it confusing as to who is saying / doing what to whom

    Characters above include Riky, Kaitlyn, Kailyn, Ray Dat, key (who arranged transportation), Riley and finally Kalyn

    In addition, I struggle with other elements of your post 🙁

    For example, in line 1, He contacted with Kaitlyn … or should that be He contracted with Kaitlyn …

    Later on in that paragraph, Kailyn fold Ray Dat … WHAT?

    I’m on holiday at the moment but I SHALL try to find time to get back to you but it’s really better for your teacher / professor to see and correct any mistakes rather than for me to be doing the checking
