Contracts

I sold a very nice pool table to someone and the sale was to be paid by certified check. One day after I deposited the check, the purchaser calls wanting the money back because they say their water heater went out. They have not picked up the table. Am I required to give them their money back? I think they forgot to figure in moving cost and now they want to back out of the deal. There were no warranties or guarantees provided by me. It was a straight up sale.

I have a customer that I have done renovation work in the past and had no problems with price agreements. This particular project I am currently working on has become dragged out too far. She has had other contractors give their opinion. I was asked to wait for her to make another decision after another. She has delayed this project so far on her own and is putting the blame on me. She has someone else doing parts of the original signed contract due to remaining time frame and continues to make changes in the work and requests alterations in the contract price. She gave me a deposit to replace wood flooring with prefinished flooring and now has changed her mind again to do tile instead. She know wants the deposit back although I have time vested in this part of the project as well as time writing all of the (7)Seven revised/changed orders. What are my legal rights with this customers actions?

I just bought a brand new 2009 Ford Focus. I drove less than a hundred miles the day I bought it and then I went to the store and when I came back out I was unable to start the car. I called Ford Assistance and two hours later they towed it back to the dealer. I just bought the car. The dealer is closed on Sundays and they will not look at the car until Monday. Problem is that 72 hours will have passed before I find out if what is wrong with my car is a big deal or little deal. Should I claim buyer's remorse first thing Monday morning and turn it back in?

I placed an order for gold coins with company 'A' in California and signed a contract via electronic signature. The actual shipment came from company 'B' in California (shipping label) which I had not heard of before. There was a problem with the coins and they were returned the next day. Now, there is a refund dispute. Is my electronic signature I gave to Company 'A' legally binding to a shipment I received from Company 'B', a company I had no previous contact with? The contract signed online referred exclusively to Company 'A'.

I have a real estate listing with a 5% commission, 10% lease commission. I procured a lease to purchase contract, one year, rent $700 month. Sat with tenant/buyer and seller/landlord, negotiated terms drew up contracts. The seller told the buyer to go ahead and start moving in. He told me he wanted his daughter (lawyer) to review the paperwork. The landlord/seller contacted tenant/buyer behind my back and said that he decided not to sell, only lease for the year now. Dont sign the paperwork not give the deposits to the rents to realtor. Buyer called me and I called the seller. He said he decided he is taking the house off of the market. I expressed that per the contract he was to conduct all negotiations throught me, I am procuring cause for renter/buyer and he owes me 10% of the 1 year lease ($840) and the 5% commission upon close. He said he wasn't going to sell... that he will pay me a "Finders" fee ($150) and isn't going to pay any commission. Verbal agreement is binding in Colorado. I need some offense for detrimental reliance and procuring cause. Listing is good through June 2009.
