Contracts
Under Washington contract law, if a seller accepts a buyer's offer after the stated expiration date without communicating a counter-offer, the result is:
AA valid contract because acceptance cures the timing defect
BNo contract because the offer had expired✓ Correct
CA voidable contract at the buyer's election
DA binding contract if the buyer accepts the late acceptance
Explanation
An offer cannot be accepted after it expires. A late purported acceptance is a counter-offer, not an acceptance, and no contract is formed unless the original offeror accepts the counter-offer.
