Contracts
An Alaska purchase agreement states that the buyer's offer will expire at 5:00 PM on Friday. The seller signs the acceptance at 4:45 PM on Friday but it is not emailed to the buyer until 5:30 PM. The contract is most likely:
AValid because the seller signed before 5:00 PM
BNot valid because acceptance was not communicated before the deadline✓ Correct
CValid because email delays do not count against the seller
DBinding only if the buyer waives the deadline
Explanation
An offer expires at the stated deadline if acceptance has not been communicated to the offeror by that time. The seller's signing is not sufficient — the buyer must receive notice of acceptance.
