In what circumstance is a submission of a contract cancellation invalid?

  1. If the buyer calls the seller

  2. If notice is not in writing

  3. If filed at incorrect address

  4. If filed after the expiration of the contract

The correct answer is: If notice is not in writing

The submission of a contract cancellation is considered invalid if the notice is not in writing. This is because the law often requires that certain contractual notifications, including cancellations, be documented formally to provide a clear and verifiable record of the parties' intentions. Written notice helps ensure that both parties have a mutual understanding of the cancellation and serves as evidence should any disputes arise in the future. Verbal notices, such as a phone call from the buyer to the seller, may lead to misunderstandings and lack of clarity regarding the terms of cancellation, making them less reliable than a written document. Similarly, filing at an incorrect address or after the expiration of the contract may also lead to complications, but they do not inherently negate the requirement for written notice as legally binding terms.
