counter offer

Read a random definition: noctanter

A quick definition of counter offer:

A counter offer is when someone responds to an offer made by another person during negotiations. When a counter offer is made, it automatically rejects the previous offer. This means that the person who made the first offer must either accept the terms of the counter offer or there will be no agreement. For example, if someone offers to sell their house for $150,000 and the buyer responds with a counter offer of $140,000, the original offer is no longer valid. The seller can choose to accept the new offer, make another counter offer, reject the offer, or let it expire.

A more thorough explanation:

A counter offer is a response to an initial offer made during negotiations for a final contract. It is an offer made by the other party that changes some of the terms of the original offer. When a counter offer is made, it automatically rejects the previous offer, and a new offer is created. The new offer must be accepted under the terms of the counter offer, or there is no contract.

For example, if Susan Seller offers to sell her house for $150,000 to be paid in 60 days, and Bruce Buyer responds with a counter offer of $140,000 payable in 45 days, the original offer is no longer valid. Seller can choose to accept the new offer, make another counter offer, reject the counter offer, or let it expire.

Another example could be during a job negotiation. If an employer offers a salary of $50,000 per year, and the employee counters with a request for $60,000 per year, the employer can choose to accept the new offer, make another counter offer, reject the counter offer, or let it expire.

These examples illustrate how a counter offer can change the terms of an initial offer and create a new offer that must be accepted under the terms of the counter offer.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
