What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
Hi,
I apologize if this is lengthy but I feel it necessary to give all the details. All contact was done via email.
I have been looking into buying livestock from quite a few different breeders - I found a person with 3 animals I wanted & asked if they would take less. They said yes & sent me the contract - the contract has NOT been signed & returned, nor has the required deposit been given.
As a courtesy to other breeders I spoke with - I thanked them for their time & reluctantly said I'd found my desired herd elsewhere. One farm in particular has made a counter offer that I would be insane to refuse.
My question is - am I legally obligated to the first breeder?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
