Answer: They have already signed the contract with the first deal and now the only option to them is to take the original deal since they have already signed the contract which means they now have a legal duty to that first dealer.

Explanation:

What is legal duty?

Legal duty is a legally binding obligation on a contract to follow the law when doing something towards the other part. Since they have signed it is legally binding that they now take the original deal or the first deal.
