The Breach of Contract Claim Sample Clauses

The Breach of Contract Claim. Plaintiffs’ breach of contract claim is also based entirely upon the same uniform language contained in the RAL applications as the breach of fiduciary duty claim. Plaintiffs’ claim is based upon an allegation of a unilateral contract. [A] unilateral contract results from an exchange of a promise for an act; a bilateral contract results from an exchange of promises. [Citations omitted]. Thus, in a unilateral contract, there is no bargaining process or exchange of promises by parties as in a bilateral contract. [Citation omitted]. [O]nly one party makes an offer (or promise) which invites performance by another, and performance constitutes both acceptance of that offer and consideration. [Citation omitted]. Because a unilateral contract is one in which no promisor receives promise as consideration for his promise, only one party is bound. SouthTrust Bank v.

Plaintiffs further allege that such a performance by the customer constituted both acceptance of Block’s offer and consideration. Plaintiffs contend that Block breached the alleged unilateral contract when it used its customers’ tax information to generate profit for itself, as discussed above — a purpose allegedly prohibited by the unilateral contract. The Court finds that because the Plaintiffs allege the existence of a contract which is unilateral, as opposed to bilateral (a promise for a promise), the merits of this claim can be resolved solely by reference to the uniform provision quoted above in the RAL applications uniformly used by Block. As noted above, the Alabama Supreme Court has held that there is no bargaining process between the parties to a unilateral contract. As such, under the Plaintiffs’ breach of unilateral contract theory, the Court will not need to examine the state of mind of the individual Class members. Therefore, the named Plaintiffs’ brea...
