a response to an offer that proposes a different agreement while rejecting the previous offer
Editor Notes: Generally a counteroffer accepts some terms of the previous offer while proposing changes in other terms. Each counteroffer can lead to another, but the party that proposes a counteroffer has rejected the previous offer which is legally voided even if it would have been binding prior to the counteroffer.
