合同与履行第 798 / 1605 题
A contractor mails a written acceptance of a subcontractor's offer. Under the traditional 'mailbox rule,' acceptance by an authorized means is generally effective when:
a.The acceptance is properly dispatched (mailed)
b.The offeror signs a confirmation
c.Both parties meet in person
d.The offeror actually reads it
解析
Under the traditional mailbox rule, an acceptance sent by an authorized or reasonable means is effective upon dispatch, that is, when properly mailed, not when received or read by the offeror. Revocations, by contrast, are effective only on receipt. This rule allocates the risk of transmission delay to the offeror who chose to make the offer.
