Verdict: counter_crosses_mandate.
| Finding, limit crossed | 1 term of the counter crosses a mandate limit: price at 16,500 USDC against at most 15,000 USDC. |
|---|
| Finding, fixed term changed | 1 fixed term moves in the counter: governing law from Delaware to New York. |
|---|
| Finding, term dropped | 1 term of the original is missing from the counter without a word: warranty (90 days). |
|---|
| Fix, limit crossed | Bring each term back inside its limit before accepting or sending the counter, or take it to whoever decides beyond the mandate. |
|---|
| Fix, fixed term changed | Restore each fixed term to its original value, as the mandate requires. |
|---|
| Fix, term dropped | Restore each dropped term, or state in the counter that it is removed and why. |
|---|
The counter goes beyond the mandate: limit crossed and fixed term changed.
The studio opens at 18,000 USDC. The buyer's agent answers at 16,500 USDC, moves the delivery date to 10 January, switches governing law to New York and leaves out the 90-day warranty. The mandate caps the price at 15,000 USDC, allows delivery up to 15 January and fixes governing law. The report names the three problems: the price crosses its ceiling, a fixed term moved and the warranty dropped without a word. The new delivery date sits inside its limit, so the report leaves it out of the findings. The agent brings the price under 15,000 USDC, restores Delaware and the warranty, and sends a counter that stays inside the mandate.
