A seller, having promised to deliver goods to a buyer by a specific date, failed to do so, leading the buyer to seek the termination of the contract and damages, and the court upheld the lower court's finding that the delay constituted a material breach, justifying the contract's rescission and the award of damages to the buyer, because the agreed-upon deadline was essential to the contract's purpose and the seller failed to prove any external circumstance excused the non-performance.
