Assume you purchased specially made steel articles in the shape of your company’s logo to give out at a conference in five weeks. Because the items are being manufactured specifically for your company, you paid 50% of the $15,000 purchase price up front. The supplier notifies you 10 days before the conference that the shipment will be delayed because the goods were loaded on a truck that was destroyed in an accident involving a train. What are your rights related to the contract?
