(1)
Unless otherwise unambiguously indicated by the language or circumstances:#
1. (a)
  An offer to make a contract shall be construed as inviting acceptance in any manner and by any medium reasonable in the circumstances;#
2. (b)
  An order or other offer to buy goods for prompt or current shipment shall be construed as inviting acceptance either by a prompt promise to ship or by the prompt or current shipment of conforming or nonconforming goods, but such a shipment of nonconforming goods does not constitute an acceptance if the seller seasonably notifies the buyer that the shipment is offered only as an accommodation to the buyer.#
(2)
Where the beginning of a requested performance is a reasonable mode of acceptance an offeror who is not notified of acceptance within a reasonable time may treat the offer as having lapsed before acceptance.#
