Answer to Question 1

You must first determine whether the contract is for a good or a service. The software involved here is considered to be a good, since goods means anything movable, except for money, securities, and certain legal rights. If the contract involves both goods and services, the court will look to see which element is the primary purpose. The UCC governs contracts for a sale of goods, while common-law principles govern contracts for sales of services and everything else. Here the primary purpose of the contract is to sell the software. The services are merely to support the sale of the software. The UCC would probably control.

Answer to Question 2
