The Agreement: Acceptance PA E TR HC 9 “Make your bargain before beginning to plow.” Arab proverb

Learning Objectives  Basics of Acceptance  Intent  Communication  Special Problems

 Acceptance must be by clear expression by offeree of intent to be bound by terms of offer and communicated to offeror  Only offeree may accept offer  If offer calls for performance, then performance is acceptance  Offeror may specify manner of acceptance  Silence may be acceptance Requirements for Acceptance

 Traditional contract law rule required acceptance to be a mirror image of the offer  UCC 2–207 allows contract formation even when there is some variance between terms of offer and terms of the acceptance  Mailbox rule makes acceptance effective upon dispatch when the offeree used a manner of communication expressly or impliedly authorized (invited) by the offeror Mirror Image & Mailbox Rules

OFFER + ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT Effect of Acceptance

Test Your Knowledge  True=A, False = B  Silence may never indicate acceptance  Offeror may specify manner of acceptance  O nly material variances between an offer and an alleged acceptance result in an implied rejection of the offer  UCC 2–207 does not allow contract formation if there is some variance between terms of offer and terms of the acceptance

Test Your Knowledge  Multiple Choice  The effect of offer plus acceptance is:  (a) negligible  (b) an agreement  (c) the mirror image rule  (d) none of the above

Thought Questions  Do you read shrink-wrap and browse-wrap license agreements? Do you agree you should be bound by “click” agreements if purchasing through the internet?
