* Assume that Betty decides to drop out of university to go to Hollywood and become a movie star. Her friend, Joan, has the exact same class schedule as Betty. Since Joan needs the same books, Betty agrees to let Joan use her books for a fee. Can Betty do this? Why or why not? Assume that Joan loses the books. What rights does the University Store have, if any?
* During the semester, Betty’s books are stolen. The University Store charges Betty the new textbook price for the books, but her credit card is denied. The University Store asserts that Betty owes it $525 for the stolen textbooks. In need of money, Betty agrees to babysit Professor’s children during summer break for $525. Betty asks Professor to pay her debt to the University Store rather than pay her directly. Assuming that Betty performs her obligations to Professor, what rights, if any, does the University Store have if Professor fails to pay the University Store? What rights, if any, does Betty have?
* After Betty has attended class for two weeks, she realizes that all of the rented textbooks are missing multiple chapters. What rights, if any, does Betty have?
* Assume that Betty stops by the University Store to get an University coffee cup on April 28th, 2017. She informs the sales representative that she has lost her books and won’t be able to return them. What rights, if any, does the University Store have at that point?
