The binding contract created between Juan and Charles is not as per the standard contract law as the acceptance does not follow the mirror image rule. For an acceptance to create a binding contract, standard contract law requires that the acceptance must "mirror" the offer, that is, must match it exactly. This is the mirror image rule.
