• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 26: COMMERCIAL LAW
• Art. 1: UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE
• Ch. 2: Sales

Text

(1) Unless otherwise unambiguously
indicated by the language or circumstances
(a) an offer to make a contract shall be construed as inviting
acceptance in any manner and by any medium reasonable in the
circumstances;
(b) an order or other offer to buy goods for prompt or current
shipment shall be construed as inviting acceptance either by a prompt
promise to ship or by the prompt or current shipment of conforming or
non-conforming goods, but such a shipment of non-conforming goods
does not constitute an acceptance if the seller seasonably notifies the
buyer that the shipment is offered only as an accommodation to the
buyer.
(2) Where the beginning of a requested performance is a reasonable
mode of acceptance an offeror who is not notified of acceptance within
a reasonable time may treat the offer as having lapsed before
acceptance.
