Contracts
An Idaho seller 'accepts' a buyer's offer by crossing out one term and signing the modified document. This is legally:
AA valid acceptance binding both parties
BA counteroffer, which terminates the original offer and creates a new proposal✓ Correct
CAn acceptance with a reservation
DAn invalid signature requiring notarization
Explanation
Any modification to an offer before signing creates a counteroffer, not an acceptance. The original offer is terminated and the ball is back in the buyer's court to accept, reject, or counter.
