Transaction 1

S is an electronics company and plans to release a new laptop. In order to deliver long battery life but
compact size, S decided to utilize lithium batteries in its device. S is therefore interested in purchasing
100,000 lithium batteries from a manufacturer, G, to get the laptop ready for its initial launch.

Lithium batteries are prone to fires and explosions, and there are instances in the recent past where
products by manufacturers such as Mell and Hoshiba have had to recall their products due to a few
instances of the products catching on fire or exploding. This is typically caused due to manufacturing
defects or the use of low-quality components. S therefore wants to ensure that any issues that arise out
of the batteries are covered by the agreement entered into between S and G, and that G is held
responsible for any defect in the products provided to it.

S requires that the batteries be delivered to its assembling plant in Maharashtra at the latest by the end
of October so that the laptops are ready for their launch in December. It is critical that this timeline is met
and that the products are in stores in time for the launch.

Draft the contract to be entered into between S and G for the supply of the lithium batteries, as though
you were acting for S.
