- holding that, under Michigan law, whether a party assented to an offer is a question of fact
- finding that an acknowledgment which stated additional terms and provided that those terms “are the only ones upon which we will accept orders” was expressly conditional; rejecting the argument that language must exactly mimic UCC 2-207(1)
- reasoning that “the language taken as a whole clearly indicates that [the seller] would accept only on its terms . . . While failure to so advise obviously does not require a conclusion of assent . . . the clause does show [the seller]’s attempt to create a contract only on its terms”
