一． Is there any contract between X and Y
On April 4, Company X, with its place of business in China, sent an offer by e-mail to Company Y, with its place of business in Australia. The offer concerned 50,000 meters hand-printed cotton cloth and said it would remain open until April 30. On April 10, Company Y answered by e-mail : “The price is too high, and we are not interested in the offer.” But on April 20, the manager of Company Y changed his mind and sent another e-mail to accept the April 4 offer.
Question: Is there any contract between company X and Company Y
Answer and Analysis
No. Since both China and Australia are Contracting States to the CISG, according to Article 1 would apply here. After receiving the offer of 50,000 meters hand-printed cotton cloth, on April 10, Company Y stated that they were not interested in the offer, which rejected the offer.
