Question

the paragraph below comes from the rental agreement susan signed when she opened her account at super video.
\all rentals are due back by midnight of the due date as printed on the transaction receipt. any rental not received by midnight on the day it is due is subject to a late charge of $1.50 for each day it is late. any rental not returned by the fifth day after the due date will be transferred to a sale. the customer will then be required to pay the purchase price of the item in addition to five (5) days of late fees. the customer will not be required to return the product once the total balance is paid.\
susan went into her local super video to rent a movie last week. when she had made her choice, she approached the checkout counter where the clerk asked for her id, scanned her movies and asked for $5.83. susan gave her a $10 bill and the clerk gave her $4.17 as change as she said, \thank you, have a good day!\.
which of the following events invalidates the contract susan signed with super video?
a. susan rented the wrong movie.
b. the clerk gave susan the wrong amount of change.
c. the clerk asked susan for her id rather than her membership card.
d. the clerk completed the transaction without giving susan a receipt or otherwise informing her of the due date.

Explanation:

To determine which event invalidates the contract, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Renting a wrong movie doesn't inherently break the signed rental agreement terms (which focus on return deadlines, late fees, and purchase after late period).
• Option b: Let's check the change calculation. Susan gave $10, the total due was $5.83. The correct change should be $10 - $5.83 = $4.17. The clerk gave her $4.17, so this is correct, not invalidating.
• Option c: The contract mentions "the clerk asked for her ID" (from the transaction receipt details), so asking for ID instead of membership card (if ID is acceptable per their process or the contract doesn't specify membership card over ID) doesn't invalidate.
• Option d: The contract states "The Customer will then be required to pay the purchase price total balance is paid" and implies transaction details should be provided. Not giving a receipt or info about the due date goes against the contract's terms (as the receipt has due date and transaction details), so this invalidates the contract.

Answer:

d. The clerk completed the transaction without giving Susan a receipt or otherwise informing her of the due date.
