What Is the Mirror Image Rule?

The mirror image rule is a principle in contract law which states that an acceptance to an offer cannot introduce new or changed terms. If someone responds to accept an offer but adds in new terms, it becomes a rejection and counteroffer, and the original offer is no longer binding. The offeror has the choice of rejecting the counteroffer or entering into negotiations to reach an agreement on a new offer.
