How did the contract get discharged


Assignment task: Polly owns a dog toy factory and has made an agreement (contract) with Amy, the owner of a dog toy store. The contract states Polly will deliver 100 dog toys per month to Amy by the 15th of every month. Amy called Polly to discuss the contract. Amy explained that she thought people were stealing dog toys. As Amy was talking, Polly was secretly filling garbage bags full of dog toys to take home for her own dog.

Polly explained to Amy that due to COVID-19, there has been an increase in demand for dog toys, and she can't make any guarantees on the factory's ability to ship out the next order as scheduled. However, Polly promised that she would do the best she could to have the dog toys shipped out soon. Amy angrily told Polly that if she could not hold up its end of the agreement, then she might find another supplier who could and angrily ended the call.

Two weeks later, Amy called Polly asking for a status update. Polly assured Amy that the production team is working hard and that she hoped to be able to ship the toys within 2 weeks. Without responding to Polly's last email, Amy immediately contacted another supplier to place an order.
