Choice A is not entirely true as a purchaser may not be bound if they did not have notice of certain terms. Choice B is not true as purchasers must typically indicate acceptance of terms and conditions before completing a purchase. Choice D is not true as the contract may be binding before actual delivery of the product. Choice E is not true as the postbox rule of acceptance does not apply to online contracts.
