(810 ILCS 5/2-206) (from Ch. 26, par. 2-206)
Sec. 2-206.
Offer and acceptance in formation of contract.
(1) Unless otherwise unambiguously indicated by the language or
circumstances
(a) an offer to make a contract shall be construed as |
| inviting acceptance in any manner and by any medium reasonable in the circumstances;
|
|
(b) an order or other offer to buy goods for prompt
|
| or current shipment shall be construed as inviting acceptance either by a prompt promise to ship or by the prompt or current shipment of conforming or non-conforming goods, but such a shipment of non-conforming goods does not constitute an acceptance if the seller seasonably notifies the buyer that the shipment is offered only as an accommodation to the buyer.
|
|
(2) Where the beginning of a requested performance is a reasonable mode
of acceptance an offeror who is not notified of acceptance within a
reasonable time may treat the offer as having lapsed before acceptance.
