Chris owns a house in a poor area of a large city. Chris is on disability and his total monthly income is $700. A sales representative visits his home, selling a water purification system. Chris buys and signs a contract that calls for monthly payments of $500 for the next 10 years. The water system is worth no more than $1000. Chris did not understand what he was signing and thought it was a permission slip allowing the salesman to conduct a free water test to determine the number of toxins in the water. How would a court most likely describe this contract?
