Under Article 2, an acceptance that changes a term is valid only if all of the following apply. Which option correctly identifies the applicable condition set?

• A. Between merchants
• B. Not a material change
• C. No objection within reasonable time
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

In the battle of the forms under the UCC, an acceptance that changes a term can still create a contract only if three conditions are met. Both parties must be merchants, the change must not constitute a material alteration of the contract, and the offeror must not object within a reasonable time. When all three are satisfied, the altered terms can become part of the contract; if any one is missing, the acceptance isn’t sufficient to form the contract with those terms. That’s why the correct set includes all of these conditions together.
