The document discusses different ways in which consent can be flawed in a contract, specifically coercion, undue influence, misrepresentation, and mistake. It defines coercion as committing or threatening a criminal act, and undue influence as exploiting a position of power over another party. Misrepresentation requires a false statement of material fact made knowingly to deceive the other party. Consent obtained through any of these flawed means can make a contract voidable.

Privity of Contract
Privity of contract refers to the principle that a contract can only grant rights and impose obligations on the contracting parties.
Under this principle, a person who is not a party to a contract has no right to sue on that contract or enforce any of its terms. However, there are some exceptions where third parties may gain rights, such as if a contract establishes a trust intended to benefit third parties, or if collateral contracts between one party and a third party exist within the subject matter of the main contract.
While privity of contract is the general rule, third parties can also sometimes pursue claims in tort law, such as with negligence actions. An action may also be based on a collateral contract between one party and a

- The owner of the factory or premises where manufacture takes place is also liable if the duty cannot be recovered from the manufacturer.
- Every person who produces or manufactures excisable goods or stores such goods in a warehouse is liable to pay excise duty.
- Duty is payable on removal of goods from the place of manufacture or warehouse. No excisable goods can be removed without payment of applicable duty, unless otherwise provided.
- Liability arises when goods are removed from the place of manufacture or warehouse for home consumption or sale. The duty

Capacity Of Parties To Enter In To Contract
1) The document discusses the capacity of parties to enter into a valid contract under Indian law. It states that a person must be of the age of majority, of sound mind, and not disqualified by any other law to have contractual capacity.
2) It outlines various groups that may lack capacity, such as minors under 18, persons of unsound mind (idiots, lunatics, drunkards), and those disqualified by other laws like alien enemies or convicts.
3) For a contract to be valid, it requires free consent between the parties, a lawful object, and not be forbidden or opposed to public policy.
Slides (in PDF) from Safari Webcast
These were the slides used in the Safari Webcast held 12_15_08 from Tokyo. These are *not* meant to be stand alone slides, but many people were asking for the PDF, so here you go. This is the actual PDF I used. Here, however, some of the type colors may be off (though it worked well when uploaded; colors were correct). It is 240 slides because I used a PDF and therefore more slides are used to simulate animation. The PDF was 30 MB uploaded here. There were lagging issues during the webex webcast though I was not aware of them. The archive is better though there are still timing issues. Not really much new here in this deck for longtime followers.
Capacity to contract
According to Indian contract law, a person must be of the age of majority, of sound mind, and not otherwise legally disqualified to have the capacity to enter into a valid and enforceable contract. A minor, defined as a person under 18 years of age, lacks such capacity and any agreements entered into by a minor are void ab initio. However, a minor can be held liable to pay for necessities provided to them, such as food, clothing, shelter, and services related to education or healthcare. A person of unsound mind, including idiots, lunatics, or those intoxicated, also lacks the capacity to contract if unable to understand the nature and effect of the agreement.
Discharge of contract
Discharge of a contract means termination of contractual obligations between parties. A contract can be discharged in several ways including performance, agreement between parties, impossibility of performance, failure to provide facilities for performance, death, refusal of performance, unauthorized alterations, lapse of time, operation of law, and breach of contract. Some key ways are discharge by performance when both parties fulfill their obligations, and discharge by agreement/consent when parties mutually agree to novate, accept accord and satisfaction, remit obligations, or rescind the contract.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
