Whether Weitio is obligated to pay $1000 for the replacement of the entire projector?
Relevant law
When any contract is formulated then there are several terms that are made part of the contract.
Exclusion Clause is one of the significant term that is normally made part of the contract. An
exclusion term is a term which has the capability to Limit or exclude the liability of one of the
party. There are few essential requirements that must be present in order to make an exclusion
clause valid1:
i. An exclusion clause must be made part of the contract mutually by the parties;
ii. if the clause is made part of the contract by a party individually, then, it is necessary
that reasonable efforts must be taken to bring the clause within the notice of the other
party;
iii. if the exclusion clause is made part of the written contract signed by the parties, then,
the clause is valid irrespective whether the clause is read or not2;
iv. it is necessary that the clause must be made part of the contract before the contractual
relationship is established by the party.3.
