Which of the following is an example of contractual liability?

  1. Negligent behavior in a workplace

  2. Breach of contract if services are not properly performed

  3. Accidental damage in a public place

  4. Failure to meet safety regulations

The correct answer is: Breach of contract if services are not properly performed

The correct response is focused on breaching contractual obligations. In this context, contractual liability arises when one party fails to fulfill the terms of a contract, which can include not performing services to the agreed standards. When services are not performed as specified in a contract, this constitutes a breach, leading to potential legal repercussions and the responsibility to compensate the other party for any resulting damages. The examples involving negligent behavior, accidental damage, or failure to meet safety regulations primarily relate to tort law or regulatory compliance rather than direct obligations established by a contract. Hence, these scenarios do not illustrate the concept of contractual liability as clearly as the breach of contract does.
