Definition of non-firm offers: Non-firm offers are offers with reservation clause. Unit7 Counter-offers( 还盘 ) 6.Definition of a counter-offer: A counter-offer is virtually a partial rejection of the original offer. It also means a counter proposal put forward by the buyer. 精品资料 - - - 欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - 欢迎下载 名师归纳 - - - - - - - - - -第 1 页，共 26 页 - - - - - - - - - - 资料收集于网络，如有侵权请联系网站删除word 可编辑Unit8 Placing & Confirming an Order( 订单及确认订单) 7.An order should at least contain the following points: 8.1. description of the goods, such as specification, size, quantity , quality and article number (if any); 9.2. prices(unit prices as well as total prices); 10. 3. terms of payment; 11. 4. mode of packing; 12. 5. time of transportation, port of destination and time of shipment etc. . 13.
