Legal Definitions - special acceptance

Definition: Special acceptance is a type of acceptance that deviates from the terms of a bill or the terms added to it. It is an acceptance that departs from the usual terms of a bill.

Example: An example of special acceptance is when a draft is accepted as payable in a specific place, even though the draft does not contain such a limitation.

This means that the acceptor has agreed to pay the draft in a way that is different from what was originally agreed upon. This type of acceptance is not common and is usually done to accommodate the needs of the parties involved.
