< Prev
Next >
Sally, the owner of a sporting goods store, orders 50 pairs of soccer socks from Saul, a supplier, specifying that she needs them by Tuesday. Saul emails Sally an acknowledgment of her order, stating that the socks will be delivered by Monday. Which of the following statements is true?
A

Sally and Saul do not have a valid sales contract because Saul's acknowledgment did not mirror Sally's offer.

B

Saul's different terms materially alter Sally's offer, so Sally's original terms govern the contract.

C

Saul's different terms do not materially alter Sally's offer, so Saul's terms apply as long as he delivers the socks on time.

D

Sally can refuse to accept the shipment from Saul and sue him for damages resulting from the early delivery.
