Multiple Choice

Last month, Coleman learned that the latest shipment from Jade's are not authentic, brand-name shoes but instead a knock-off brand that costs a fraction of the price Coleman pays. Coleman cannot sell these shoes because his customers would know the difference, and Coleman demanded Jade refund him. Jade sent Coleman a written request for arbitration within thirty days.
