Under federal law you are required to honor the original purchase agreement. All you have to do is reprint the items and send them. They have already been paid for. Why are you refusing?

I wish I could remember off the top of my head. It's not a well-known one. All I remember is we had to sign all of these dang forms every year related to it saying we understood it.

I'm curious, too. Generally contract issues are a state law matter, not federal (unless it involves a contractor or supplier for the federal government or under a federal program/grant). And if such a law did exist and it applied to a situation like this, I'd be shocked if performance was the only remedy.

That was my point of curiosity, since the closest I could find was the Uniform Commercial Code, and that's not actually a set of laws, but rather of uniform acts to help set standards for commerce across state lines. Also, Restatement of the Law (2d): Contracts, but that's just a set of legal treatises about contract law, rather than being any sort of law in-and-of itself.

Basically, from what I was told, it became a federal law because of interstate trade involving the Internet. As I said, it is not well known and the only reason I know about it is because a former employer of mine had us sign forms saying we understood it every year.
