Flashcards Studio

A 17-year-old student bought a high-end laptop from an electronics store for $2,400 on a six-month payment plan. The student told the clerk that she was 19 and showed a realistic-looking student ID that did not list a birth date. Three months later, while still 17, the student notified the store that she was canceling the contract and offered to return the laptop, which had ordinary wear and a cracked case from an accidental drop. The store refused to take it back and demanded the unpaid balance.
During the same period, the student received emergency dental treatment after an accident. The dentist charged the usual market rate. The student also leased a music studio for rehearsals. Two weeks after turning 18, she made another lease payment and continued using the studio for a month before attempting to cancel that lease based on infancy.
Analyze the student's capacity defenses and likely liabilities on the laptop contract, the dental bill, and the studio lease.
