Section 7Chapter I

Acceptance must be absolute

OF THE COMMUNICATION, ACCEPTANCE AND REVOCATION OF PROPOSALS

In order to convert a proposal into a promise, the acceptance must-

(1)

be absolute and unqualified;

(2)

be expressed in some usual and reasonable manner, unless the proposal prescribes the manner in which it is to be accepted. If the proposal prescribes a manner in which it is to be accepted, and the acceptance is not made in such manner, the proposer may, within a reasonable time after the acceptance is communicated to him, insist that his proposal shall be accepted in the prescribed manner, and not otherwise; but if he fails to do so, he accepts the acceptance.
