Maine Conflicts Between Printed Form and Added Terms refer to legal disputes that arise when conflicts arise between the pre-printed terms on a contract or document and the additional terms that have been added by the parties involved. These conflicts can occur in various types of contracts and agreements, such as purchase agreements, lease contracts, employment contracts, and service agreements. In Maine, conflicts between printed form and added terms are governed by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), specifically Article 2, which deals with the sale of goods. The UCC provides guidelines to resolve such conflicts and determine which terms prevail in different situations. There are several types of conflicts that can arise between printed form and added terms, including: 1. Conflicting Terms: This type of conflict occurs when there are contradictory terms in the pre-printed form and the added terms. For example, the pre-printed form may state that the buyer is responsible for shipping costs, while the added terms specify that the seller should cover these expenses. In such cases, determining which party's terms prevail becomes crucial. 2. Different Warranty Provisions: Conflicts can also arise when the pre-printed form and added terms have different warranty provisions. The pre-printed form may have a limited warranty, while the added terms may include an extended warranty. Resolving such conflicts requires careful analysis to determine the intent of the parties and the applicable law. 3. Varying Payment Terms: Disagreements related to payment terms can also occur between printed form and added terms. For instance, the pre-printed form may outline a payment schedule, while the added terms propose a different payment arrangement. In such scenarios, it becomes essential to establish which terms were agreed upon and whether any modifications were intended. Resolving Maine conflicts between printed form and added terms involves considering various factors, such as the parties' intentions, industry customs, trade usage, and the UCC provisions. Courts may step in to interpret the contract and determine which terms prevail based on the hierarchy of agreement terms, parties' behavior, and other relevant evidence. It is advisable for parties engaging in contractual agreements to ensure clarity and consistency between preprinted and added terms to minimize the potential for conflicts.
