Sarbanes Oxley: Does it hinder a party from voiding a contract?

Asked by BronxLens (1539points) December 3rd, 2008

Say someone buys an order for 10 software widgets for $10K US dollars from the manufacturer directly. A week later the buyers needs to back up from the purchase so he request that the order is canceled. How valid is the (partial) argument from the vendor that “ABC Inc. is a publicly traded company & needs to adhere strictly to Sarbanes Oxley”? Fyi -The buyer and vendor have collaborated a long time.

What does the signed order say? When the order was placed, there should have been terms that were signed. Were the widgets custom? Had the work been started prior to the cancellation of the order?

I’m don’t think SOX has anything to do with cancelling an order…we usually reference it in terms of governance.
