Contracts
Under Maine law, a seller's acceptance of an offer that contains different terms than the offer constitutes:
AA binding contract
BA counteroffer that voids the original offer✓ Correct
CA conditional acceptance
DA mutual mistake
Explanation
A mirror image rule applies: acceptance must match the offer exactly. An acceptance with different terms is a counteroffer, which rejects the original offer and creates a new offer.
