Quiz: The contents of a contract

Question 6

 

 

Without reading it, A signs a written document that he knows is a contract for the purchase of a car at an agreed price.  After signing it, A discovers that the contract requires him to have the car serviced by the seller at six-monthly intervals for the next two years.  A does not want to be bound by these terms.  In the light of these facts, which of the following statements is the most accurate? 

 

(a)  A has expressly agreed to all the terms in the contract he signed and is legally bound by those terms even if he did not actually know of them when he signed.

(b)  A has agreed by implication ‘ad hoc’ to all the terms in the document he signed and is legally bound by those terms even if he did not actually know of them when he signed.

(c)   Although he signed the document knowing it was a contract, A did not agree, either expressly or impliedly ad hoc, to the terms that he was unaware of because he did not read the document.
