Question juridique clé

Solution extraite
A reasonable person in the seller's position would not have understood the 400 MPa requirement to be absolutely decisive for the contract's existence.
Motifs extraits
The buyer accepted reduced-price nonconforming goods, the reduced quantity was not buyer-drafted, and the record showed the clause also affected price allocation rather than contract survival.
