Dear Sir Or Madam: You Cannot Contract In A Closet, David J. Depippo Jan 2001

Dear Sir Or Madam: You Cannot Contract In A Closet, David J. Depippo

University of Richmond Law Review

This comment will examine this seemingly basic question through the lens of two recent Gateway cases. In Hill v. Gateway 2000, Inc., the Seventh Circuit held that the Standard Terms were part of the sales agreement, and thus, the consumer was bound by them.
