Contracts
A Minnesota buyer's offer contains a clause requiring the seller to provide a one-year home warranty. The seller crosses out this clause and signs. The result is:
AA binding contract without the warranty clause
BA counter-offer that the buyer must accept or reject✓ Correct
CA void contract since material terms are disputed
DA binding contract with the warranty clause since the seller signed
Explanation
When the seller modifies any term in the buyer's offer (including crossing out the warranty clause), it creates a counter-offer. The original offer is no longer operative.
