Wendi Dodson Houston - While Procurement and contract managers are not expected to be legal experts, it is very difficult to manage a contract well without a basic understanding of the elements to a contract and the meaning of significant terms.
This document contains questions about contracts for a revision exam. It asks about the definition of a contract and characteristics of a valid contract. It also asks about terms related to contracts like offer, offerer, offeree and consideration. Other questions address ways contracts can be discharged and categories of persons not having capacity to enter contracts. Specific legal terms like discharge of contract, executory consideration and frustration of contract are also defined. Examples of simple contracts and specialty contracts are provided to determine the type of contract.
This chapter will define an offer, identify the three conditions necessary for a valid offer, explain the requirement of certainty in offer terms, list the four required offer terms, discuss the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and its impact on traditional contract law offers, define output contracts, apply offer concepts to contract clauses, demonstrate how to draft a basic offer, and indicate the difference between contracting with a public or merchant party. An offer is a proposal to enter a contract that must manifest intent, be communicated, and have certain definite terms including price, subject matter, parties, and performance time. The UCC codifies contractual sale of goods concepts.
This chapter discusses the concepts of legality and contractual capacity. It defines two types of illegal contracts: malum in se, which are inherently against public policy; and malum prohibitum, which violate minor laws but are not morally reprehensible. The chapter lists the types of contracts covered by the Statute of Frauds and explains usury. It differentiates infants from minors and discusses how alcohol and drugs can impact contractual capacity.
A contract is an agreement that is enforceable in court and is formed when two or more parties agree to perform or refrain from performing some act now or in the future.

An agency is created when a principal delegates authority to an agent to act on their behalf. This can be done expressly through a written or verbal agreement, or impliedly through the actions and behaviors of the principal and agent. The agent has duties to follow the principal's instructions, act with reasonable care and skill, keep accounts, and not make secret profits. The principal has duties to pay the agent's remuneration and can enforce the agent's duties. An agency terminates when the purpose is complete, a time period expires, or either the principal or agent revoke the relationship or become unable to fulfill their roles.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
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

contractual rights and
obligations may not be
enforceable.

being a penalty, leading to the
clause becoming unenforceable and
