Explanation:

When one of the party made mistake in a contract , the power to void the contract fall to the hand of the second party.

The second party generally has two choices:

- They can legally ended the contract (since the first party failed to fulfill the obligation)

- Or they can also give the first party a chance to correct the mistake and resume the contract as promised

Regardless of which options the First party is legally obligated to accept the decisions made by the Second party. This is why the term "voidable" is used/.
