acceptance

acceptance
The actual or implied receipt and retention of thin which is tendered or offered. A receipt alone does not amount to all acceptance, but anything done by the receiptor as owner is evidence of all acceptance. Patterson & Holden v Sargent, 83 Vt 516, 77 A 338. The acceptance of the goods constituting the subject of a sale has all important bearing upon the passing of title front the seller to the buyer where the contract is executory; it is also a material consideration in respect of the satisfaction of the statute of frauds where the contract is parol. 46 Am J1st Sales § 411. In a sale of personal property the term covers more than a mere receipt of the goods by the purchaser and implies some act done by him after he has exercised, or has had the means of exercising, his right of rejection. Patterson & Holden v Sargent, 83 Vt 516, 77 A 338.
