Rescission is an equitable remedy that allows the customer to cancel the contract and receive a refund of any money paid if the contract was induced by fraud or a misrepresentation of fact. In this scenario, the innocent misrepresentation induced the customer to buy the computer, so they would be entitled to seek rescission as a remedy.
