Contracts
A West Virginia buyer submits an offer with a 48-hour acceptance deadline. If the seller does not respond within 48 hours, the offer:
AAutomatically becomes a binding contract
BExpires and cannot be revived without a new offer✓ Correct
CCan be extended unilaterally by the seller
DRemains open until formally rejected
Explanation
In West Virginia contract law, an offer expires if not accepted within the stated time period. If the 48-hour deadline passes without acceptance, the offer lapses and any subsequent acceptance by the seller would constitute a new offer, not a binding contract.
