Many people believe that there is no binding contract unless there is something in writing. This is not so. It is possible to form a contract involving a great deal of money without a word being spoken let alone written down. And an oral contract is just as effective, from all points of view, as a written one.
  Acceptance terminates the Right to Reject the Goods
  The right to reject faulty goods is lost once the goods are ‘accepted’ – which means once the buyer has done something inconsistent with the ownership of the goods by the trader. Once a garment has been worn and washed it may well be too late to reject. The moral is to cancel immediately a fault is found, and to do it in writing, keeping a copy.
  Breach of Contract
  If the trader fails to supply the goods, or to deliver them in time; or if they do not comply with the implied terms, he has broken the contract. The buyer will be entitled to compensation (damages). If the breach is very serious the buyer can cancel the contract and reject the goods unless he has accepted them. The damages then are what he has paid plus any out-of-pocket expenses which may have been incurred.
  If the breach of contract is less serious (for example where the goods may be repaired without much cost, or where what is wrong offends the eye but does not stop the goods functioning more or less correctly), the buyer can claim some monetary compensation because he has not got what he bargains for. He could claim the cost of a repair or a reduction in the price.
