Acme Co. offers to buy 1000 widgets from Widget World Co. The written offer provides for 1000 at $10 per widget, to be delivered May 1. The offer has no other provisions. Widget World sends a written acceptance. However, the acceptance also states that if any claim arises under this contract, Widget World must be notified within 10 days. Acme does not object to this provision. Both parties are merchants. Which of the following best describes this situation? a. A contract exists, but the different terms cancel each other out, and the additional term is not part of the contract no matter what.
b. No contract exists because the differing payment dates must be resolved first.
c. A contract exists. The differing payment dates cancel each other out. The additional term probably becomes part of the contract.
d. No contract exists. The purported acceptance contains additional terms, so it is a counteroffer, which Acme never explicitly accepted.
