ITPEC IP October 2018 Question 76
ITPEC IP October 2018 — Question 76 of 100
For an online order, the sales contract is concluded when the shop's acceptance notice reaches the consumer. The customer's order is an offer, and the shop's acceptance becomes effective when it is received by the offeror under the arrival rule for electronic communications.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- arrival of the purchase message only delivers the customer's offer
- merely sending the acceptance does not yet make it available to the consumer
- delivery of the product performs an already concluded contract
Key rule: A contract forms when a valid acceptance becomes effective; in electronic transactions, this is generally when the acceptance reaches the recipient.
