Counter-offers

(1) A counter-offer is an offer made by an offeree to his offeror relating to the same matter as the original offer and proposing a substituted bargain differing from that proposed by the original offer.

(2) An offeree’s power of acceptance is terminated by his making a counter-off, unless the offeror has manifested a contrary intention or unless the counter-offer manifests a contrary intention of the offeree.

The answer and more can be found in the comments section of SS39 of the Restatement of Contracts 2d – Counter-offers

testing footnote

What is common law and is it written by the courts of law?

Common Law
