A buyer sends a purchase order for 1,000 bolts. The seller's acknowledgment form accepts but adds an arbitration clause. Both parties are merchants and the buyer does not object. Under UCC 2-207, is the arbitration clause part of the contract?
-
A
It becomes part of the contract unless it materially alters the deal, the offer limits acceptance to its terms, or the buyer objects
-
B
Never, because additional terms are always mere proposals
-
C
Always, because the buyer failed to object within a reasonable time
-
D
No contract is formed because the forms do not match
