SW Saskatchewan | I also had made a contract for the sale of feed barley to be hauled out within a week back when I still thought we might be harvesting more than ice cubes.
And the written contract I received had the same sort of changes relieving the grain company of having to take delivery-just every 90 days they had the option of delaying the delivery and an option to renew the contract.
This was nothing like the verbal agreement we had made so I burned up the phone line and let them know in no uncertain terms the would NOT be taking delivery of my Barley or any other grain in the future. I was thinking I needed the bin space pronto and that was the reason for the sale.
Another grain company took delivery and emptied my bins-they remain empty!
Maybe I should have renegotiated with the first company---by now my barley would be a lot more valuable.
They do have a recording ofthe phone conversation---and they reluctantly agreed that the written contract was not the same as the verbal agreement.
Maybe the three day rule MIGHT cut you out, but I bet they have a recording of your phone call and if it shows any monkey business, I would believe that would be the primary influence on any judge deciding the case.
But more likely they would crumble if you stood up to them
