...LIMITATION OF LIABILITY CLAUSE This dispute arises from the common, but risky, commercial practice where the seller and buyer negotiate a contract involving goods by exchanging each others' standardized forms. The transactions of this type involved here are governed by section 2-207 of the U.C.C., codified in section 672.207, Florida Statutes (2000)....

The battle lines are frequently created where, as here, "the seller's form contains terms different from or additional to those set forth in the buyer's form." Official Comment 1 § 672.207. Despite the differences in the forms, the parties proceed with the commercial transactions and fight the battle after the transaction concludes. Initially, section 672.207(1) provides that, between merchants, where a "definite and seasonable expression of acceptance or a written confirmation is sent within a reasonable time," it operates as "an acceptance even though it states terms additional to or dif...

Having determined when or how the offer is deemed accepted, the statute next seeks to determine whether the additional term or terms are treated as a part of a legally enforceable contract.

...t where an acceptance contains additional or different terms than the original offer. While such an acceptance ordinarily would not meet the strict requirements of the common law mirror image rule, the U.C.C. provides a more flexible approach. Under section
672.207(2), additional terms included in an acceptance are construed as proposals for addition to the contract. See A & M Eng'g Plastics, Inc. v. Energy Saving Tech. Co.,
455 So.2d 1124 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984). Between merchants, the terms become part of the contract unless they fall into an exception. §
672.207(2). Within the context of section
672.207(2), the parties do not dispute that they are merchants, that Gottlieb's offer did not expressly limit acceptance to its terms, and that Alps did not object to the additional terms within a reasonable amount of time....
