Exactly.

ToW, I never contradicted anything you said about the definition of a contract. I only noted that a retail transaction, while still a contract, is not written. I added the qualifier in my initial post because there is a lower threshold for compliance and enforcement.

I am pretty sure there is case law on this, but I am not a lawyer, and I'll defer to any civil attorneys on the forum.
