The agreement also states that only Sally will have the authority to bind the partnership in deals with third parties, but the agreement says nothing about the management of the firm or a division of profits.

In the first year, e-Buy makes a profit of $50,000. What are the partners' rights with respect to the management of the firm? Is the partnership bound to the contract with United?
