Question

Brit has gone to the local BJ LoFi store to purchase a new mobile plan for her tablet computer. She has no real intention of getting a new tablet computer – the recent COVID-19 events have left her with no spare cash. She can afford a $40 a month plan at the moment on her budget.
As she enters the store, she sees a display with the well-known Fudge brand of tablet computers offering their latest award winning model, the “fTab”, on display for $10 a month with a $30 plan. Britt is over the moon – finally she has caught a break as she can afford this plan (which has all the features she wants) and the new tablet.
Brit goes up to Jaz, the sales assistant, and states clearly, “I accept the offer of a $10 fTablet on the $30 plan” pointing to the tablet computer on display.
Jaz looks up with alarm and says, “Oh no, not again! That should read $120 a month for the tablet on that plan. I can’t sell that to you at that price.”
“It’s too late – we have a contract,” states Brit sternly.
After Jaz continues to argue, Brit storms out saying that the store “Will be hearing from my lawyers.”
The Manager of the store has asked you to write a Memo (using the ILAC format) asking if Brit is correct – is there a contract? Use only the principles from Contract Law in your answer (i.e. do NOT use any Consumer Law). Make sure you mention all three principles of a simple apparent contract in your answer.
