THE CASE
(1) This case is against the HAHAHA ONLINE STORE, for alleged
breach of contract of certain goods purchased by the plaintiff, JUAN D.
TAMAD during the Shopzada 11.11 sale.
PARTIES
STATEMENT OF FACTS
(1) On 03 Nov 2020, the security agency announced that all employees
are invited to attend the Annual Dress-Up Christmas Party on 30 Nov 2020
(Monday). All participants were encouraged to wear their best costume
and to showcase their creativity.
(2) Mr. Tamad got excited and immediately rushed to the Shopzada to
buy the necessary attire. Fortunately, there is an upcoming Shopzada
11.11 online sale which offers great discounts to online shoppers. So, he
took advantage of the sale and added to cart the items he needed
(3) 28 Nov 2020, all of Mr. Tamad’s online orders were delivered.
However, he was shocked by what he received. He refused to accept the
Hoodie Jacket as he alleged that the XXL does not fit to his size
(Attachment A). As for the Airpods Pro, he has no choice but to accept
since it was too late to verify the authenticity of the product, claimed to be
fake (Attachment B)
ISSUES PRESENTED
(C) Based on the problem presented, what are the respective rights
and obligations (if any) of the following parties:
DISCUSSION
(1) The DEFENDANT (Hahaha Online Store), did not commit a breach in
the contract of sale, conversely would say that it is the PLAINTIFF, who is
in breach of contract in relation to non-acceptance, and consequently non
payment of a jacket under C.O.D terms (Cash on Delivery). Pursuant to
Article 1595 of the Civil Code, which states:
(3) Provided that there is really a defect on the AirPod, such defect must
be considered important. In the case of Bryan vs. Hankins, 44 Phil. 87
[1922]; Gochangco vs. Dean, 47 Phil. 687 [1925].) it was held that “the
defect is important if: (1) it renders the thing sold unfit for the use for which
it is intended; or (2) if it diminishes its fitness for such use to such an extent
that the vendee would not have acquired it had he been aware thereof or
would have given a lower price for it.”
Damages
(2) Aside from the above mentioned, MR. TAMAD may also availed of
Article 1599 which lays down the remedies in case of breach of warranty:
which they were upon the perfection of the contract. All the
fruits shall pertain to the vendee from the day on which the
contract was perfected

(2) Mr. Tamad must make sure that the item he is buying is within the
regulations and within his standards and that every information given is
correct, otherwise the Seller would not be liable.
(1) Being a seller, HaHaHa online store should abide by Article 46.
Prohibited Acts and Article 50 Prohibition Against Deceptive Sales Acts
and Practices of the RA 7394. The seller is also obliged to pay the
commission fee based on the contract and abide by the terms and
conditions of the contract in using the platform “Shopzada”HaHaHa Store
(1) HaHaHa store does not have any more obligations towards Mr.Tamad
since HaHaHa store already fulfilled all his obligations but HaHaHa store
still has rights to ask for payment (in relation to Attachment A).
If the time and place should not have been stipulated, the
payment must be made at the time and place of the delivery of
the thing sold. (1500a)
(2) Mr. Tamad after being delivered the parcel of good should have
accepted and paid the price stipulated. Mr. Tamad still have not performed
