What is offer and acceptance in a contract?
In order to form a legally binding agreement, an offer must be accepted. When one party makes an offer and the other party rejects it, there is no contract between the offeror (the party making the offer) and the offeree (the person responding to the offer). Numerous more factors guarantee the legality of a contract’s formation. You may see some instances of them below.
· The lack of a response does not indicate agreement. A notification of acceptance must be sent to the offerer. In the case of Felthouse v Bindley (1862) 142 ER 1037, a man made an offer to purchase his nephew’s horse and stipulated that he would consider the sale finalized if he did not get a response within a certain period of time. Because the nephew did not signal his agreement to sell, he was under no obligation to do so.
· Those who accept an offer have an obligation to let the provider know. An agreement signed within an office does not signify acceptance. There is no contract if the parties do not convey the terms of their offer and acceptance, for example if they sign different contracts.
· There are several means of expressing one’s acceptance. Although there is no set procedure for accepting an offer, acceptance is usually indicated by carrying out the action requested by the offeror. In business, a handshake is not required to “close the transaction.” The offer and the behavior itself both play a role in each individual instance. Offeree’s use of the provided train ticket to Melbourne, after it was printed, would be considered acceptance of the offer by the offeror.
· Any acceptance must specifically address the terms of the offer. It is incumbent upon the offeree to be cognizant of and to accept the offer. An inmate sought compensation for testimony he gave in order to secure his own release from jail in Crown v. Clarke (1927) 40 CLR 227. However, he was not eligible for the award since he did not know about it when he originally gave the information.
What is offer acceptance and consideration?
A consideration is essentially decided when two or more parties to a contract alter their positions, such as when one of the parties promises to do something that they are not legally compelled to do or when one of the parties promises not to do something that they are legally free to do. For instance, a company may offer to take down a website that is confusingly similar to the website of your company in exchange for you dropping your trademark infringement lawsuit against them, even though there is no specific demand for them to do so. This promise may be made in exchange for money (which you have a right to do). The accord is beneficial to both parties, as evidenced by the fact that each one derives some sort of tangible benefit from it.
