Terms Used In Tennessee Code 47-2-206

  • Buyer: means a person who buys or contracts to buy goods. See Tennessee Code 47-2-103
  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Seller: means a person who sells or contracts to sell goods. See Tennessee Code 47-2-103
(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.
