第三章 还盘与接受

If the buyer finds that the terms and conditions in the offer are acceptable, he may probably place an order right away. However, if the offeree considers the price is too high, or some terms and conditions do not meet his expectations, he may decline the offer, or most probably, make a counter-offer.

Similar to offer, a counter-offer is also of two kinds：one with engagement and the other without engagement. To the former, all the three elements are being cleared.Complete and fnal constitution of frm offer are applicable as well.

A counter-offer, in fact, is a rejection of an offer. Hence, it is a new offer and at the same time, the original offer expired.

Once the counter-offer（or the offer）is accepted by the other party unconditionally, the contract is concluded. An acceptance must be unconditionally, and within the validity of the frm offer or the counter-offer.Any alterations of the offer constitute a new counter-offer, not an acceptance.
