Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a voidable contract because Jennifer made false representations about the laptop's age, and Jack agreed to buy based on those representations. Jack can choose to void the contract if he discovers the misrepresentation. However, it is not a void contract under the UCC, as the UCC does not apply to this type of fraud.
