Litton Business Telephone Systems | 566 P.2d 1044 (1977) The offeror is the party who makes the offer to enter into a contract. The offeree is the party who accepts that offer. In Empire Machinery versus Litton Business Telephone Systems, we explore one possible manner of acceptance. Empire Machinery wanted to buy an interconnect telephone system from Litton Business Telephone Systems. With interconnect systems, the customer, not the telephone company, owns the in house telephone equipment. On July thirtieth nineteen seventy three, Litton confirmed in writing that, upon receipt of a signed order and deposit, Litton would install an interconnect system for Empire. Empire then executed an equipment sales agreement provided by Litton and gave Litton a down payment check. Paragraph six of the sales agreement provided that it wouldn’t become binding until accepted and executed by Litton’s home office. Litton’s home office never accepted or executed the agreement. Nevertheless, Litton cashed Empire’s check. On August thirtieth, John Parlett, Litton’s national systems representative, wrote to Mountain Bell, Empire’s telephone provider, regarding installation of the interconnect system. The opening paragraph of Parlett’s letter advised Mountain Bell that Empire and Litton had entered into a contractual agreement for installation of an interconnect system. On December third, W P Scott, Litton’s service manager, asked Mountain Bell to supply Empire with a new telephone number. Thereafter, Litton advised Empire that it couldn’t install the system. Litton tendered back Empire’s down payment, and Empire purchased an interconnect system from another company. Empire then sued Litton for breach of contract. The parties cross moved for summary judgment. The trial court granted Litton’s motion, finding that the parties didn’t have a binding contract. Empire appealed to the Arizona Court of Appeals.
