Implied acceptance by the person to whom the offer is addressed. The condition for its occurrence. Adopting a position whose indication of such acceptance leaves no room for doubt in the circumstances. - Expressing a reservation regarding acceptance. Does not constitute implied acceptance. - The judgment's reliance on the expert's report based on silence concerning discussion of prices being evidence of their acceptance, despite the reservation concerning discussion of prices. Defective reasoning.

القبول الضمني ممن وجه إليه الإيجاب. شرط تحققه. اتخاذ موقف لا تدع ظروف الحال محلاً للشك في دلالته على ذلك القبول. - ابداء تحفظ على القبول. لا يعد قبولاً ضمنياً. - اعتماد الحكم على تقرير الخبير المؤسس على أن السكوت عن مناقشة الأسعار دليل على قبولها رغم التحفظ بمناقشة الأسعار. فساد في الاستدلال.
