Answer to Question 1

Open terms
The court granted IBM's motion for summary judgment, and ASC appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, which affirmed the judgment of the lower court. The appellate court explained that IBM made no oral or written promises that it would either purchase a specified quantity of the plastic capacitors or that ASC would recover the costs of its capital expenditures. ASC understood that all purchases of capacitors by IBM would be made through purchase orders, and that IBM never made intentionally false representations to ASC about any matter related to the capacitor project. These facts, and the cautionary language in the Standard Ordering Agreement and the conditional language of the . . . letters from IBM . . . , defeats ASC's claims.
