This statement is false. Cheryl's letter begins with the formula "In accordance (with the proposal...)", a common formula for beginning business letters, orders, contracts etc, which refers to an agreement (or accord) made at an earlier date. The expression is synonymous with "as agreed upon...". Cheryl's first line expresses that her order reflects the same proposal made at the meeting of October 17th.
This statement is true. This order includes both general conditions as well as special, exceptional conditions. One of these conditions stipulates that any "unsold" stock (i.e. units of deodorant) will be bought back by Delavigne at its original price. This information is given in a section marked: special conditions.
This statement is true. The last line of this order form reads: "If special terms and conditions are not met, this order becomes null and void." The expression "null and void" is often found in the conditions of contracts, license agreements, warrantees and other legal documents. It describes the cancellation, or the invalidity of an agreement or document when certain conditions aren't met, or simply annuls the deal. In Cheryl's order, it is specified this order becomes "null and void" if the conditions for payment aren't respected.
This statement is true. Cheryl specifies that Brian Jones was impressive during the negotiations, and that his initiative played a large part in her decision to buy the Delavigne deodorants at Philip's initial asking price of 8.1 dollars per unit.
This statement is false. This order form specifies that this payment will be made in installments (or separate payments at different times): 40% of the payment will be made immediately, at the time of the order, 30% is due when the merchandise is delivered, and the final payment is due within 30 days of delivery. The last payment will be made within 30 days of receipt of the merchandise, or after an official "acknowledgement of receipt" has been sent confirming the delivery.
