OTTAWA - A Canadian farmer has been ordered to pay more than C$82,000 in damages over an emoji confusion that a Saskatchewan judge resolved by ruling that a thumbs-up image is enough to accept contractual terms.
Months later, when the time of the delivery arrived, the buyer - which had been doing business with Mr Achter for several years - did not receive the flax. The buyer, South West Terminal, argued that the emoji implied acceptance of contractual terms, while Mr Achter said he used the thumbs-up image only to indicate that he had received the contract, but not to indicate his agreement.
