Grocery contended that the contract Bill Green signed was a standard preprinted supply contract without specifics regarding time of order and quantity. Green had authority to sign a standard supply contract, but could not authorize specific terms. This was unknown to Supplier. Supplier argued that the terms were "boilerplate" and could therefore be modified by acceptance. Supplier offered oral testimony at trial to prove that Green agreed to the modifications.
