Acceptance

An unqualified assent to the terms of an offer, in the manner the offer invites, creating a binding contract.

Acceptance must generally be communicated, though unilateral contracts are accepted by completing performance and bilateral contracts by a return promise. Silence is acceptance only where prior dealings or the offeree’s conduct make it reasonable. UCC § 2-207 displaces the mirror-image rule for sales of goods.
