What's your take on this — what experience or question can you share?
When an offeree responds to an offer but changes some of the terms, is this an acceptance or a rejection? The mirror image rule suggests that any change to the terms constitutes a counter-offer rather than an acceptance. But how is this applied in practice? Are there situations where minor changes do not amount to a counter-offer, and where is the line drawn?
