Elevаtiоn Rоаsters, Inc. ("Elevаtiоn") is a specialty coffee company in Sacramento, California. Sierra Pacific Bean Co. ("Sierra") is a wholesale bean supplier in Northern California. Both companies have operated for over a decade and regularly buy and sell specialty coffee beans. In March, Elevation's buyer, Claire, emailed Sierra's sales manager, Marco, offering to purchase 2,000 pounds of Arabica beans at $12.50 per pound, delivery within 30 days, payment net 30 from delivery. Marco responded by email: "We accept your order for 2,000 lbs. at $12.50/lb., delivery within 30 days. We are also including our standard 3% restocking fee on any returns and requiring binding arbitration for disputes." Claire did not respond. Over the following two weeks, Sierra shipped 1,200 pounds in three shipments. Elevation received each shipment, processed the beans into a new blend called "The Heritage Blend," and sold the product to restaurant clients without objection. Claire later emailed Marco, stating that Elevation had never agreed to the restocking fee or arbitration clause. Marco replied that Elevation received and used the beans without objection, making those terms part of the deal. When the Heritage Blend proved successful, Sierra offered to sell Elevation "as many beans as Elevation may wish to order over the next year at $12.50 per pound." Elevation responded, "We agree." Although the original contract specified 2,000 pounds, Sierra only shipped 1,200 pounds and failed to deliver the remaining 800 pounds. The parties' communications were silent on shipping costs, a precise delivery date, and the method of payment for the undelivered beans beyond the original "net 30" language. Discuss the contract formation and enforceability issues. Address each issue in IRAC format.

In February of 2025, Peter sued Bill’s wife, Dawn, in the Federal District Court in the Central District for non-payment of the remodeling contract. Dawn filed an answer to the complaint and raised the affirmative defense of claim preclusion. During discovery, Dawn served a demand for production of documents to Peter that requested the names, addresses and phone numbers of all of Peter’s customers for the past ten years.
