Games Galore Corporation hires Haley, a minor, to create new customized game software for certain clients. Haley signs a contract that requires her to work for Games Galore for eighteen months. Before beginning work, however, Haley tells Games Galore
that she will not create new software for Games Galore and that she is going to work for Ideal Worldcraft, Inc, a Games Galore competitor. Is Games Galore's contract with Haley en-forceable? Why or why not?
The contract is not enforceable. Haley is a minor, so any con-tract that she enters is voidable by her. In other words, Haley had the option to disaffirm the contract.
A contract entered into by a minor can be disaffirmed at any time during minority, or for a reasonable time after the minor comes of age. Haley's announcement that she would not be bound by the contract was sufficient to disaffirm it.
Haley had not re-ceived any-thing under the contract with Games Galore, so there is nothing to return under a duty of res-titution. Also, there is no significance to Haley's agreeing to work for Ideal Worldcraft, Games Galore's competitor.
