Postal Rule

The "Postal Rule" is a legal principle in contract law that functions as an exception to the general rule of acceptance, specifying that an acceptance of an offer becomes effective upon posting, rather than upon receipt, provided that the post was a reasonable and authorized means of communication intended by the offeror.
