Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-2-206

Offer and acceptance in formation of contract

Known as the Uniform Commercial Code

The act spans §§ 47–47 (578 sections).

Acts 1963, ch. 81, § 1 (2-206

(1) Unless otherwise unambiguously indicated by the language or circumstances:

(2) an offer to make a contract shall be construed as inviting acceptance in any manner and by any medium reasonable in the circumstances;

(3) 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.

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.
