  7. FILL IN THE BLANK WHEN I ACCESS A MUSIC DOWNLOAD SERVICE ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE TO READ A DOCUMENT CALLED A CONTRACTAND CHECK A BOX THAT SAYS THAT I ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT.

  8. KEY TERMS • CONTRACT • OFFER • ACCEPTANCE • GENUINE AGREEMENT • EXPRESS CONTRACT • IMPLIED CONTRACT • BILATERIAL CONTRACT • UNILATERIAL CONTRACT

  9. Six elements of a contract • An agreement is not a contract unless it contains the six elements of a contract: • Consideration • Capacity • Legality • Offer • Acceptance • Genuine Agreement

  10. CONSIDERATION • THE THING OF VALUE PROMISED TO ONE PARTY IN A CONTRACT IN EXCHANGE FOR SOMETHING ELSE OF VALUE PROMISED BY THE OTHER PARTY.

  11. CAPACITY • THE LAW PERSUMES THAT ANYONE ENTERING A CONTRACT HAS THE LEGAL CAPACITY TO DO SO. • Example-Getting Married • MINORS ARE GENERALLY EXCUSED FROM CONTRACTUALY RESPONSIBILITY AS WELL AS MENTALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE AND INDIVIDUALS UNDER THE INFLUENCE.

  12. LEGALITY • PARTIES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENFORCE CONTRACTS THAT INVOLVE ILLEGAL ACTS. SOME ILLEGAL CONTRACTS INVOLVE AGREEMENTS TO COMMIT A CRIME OR A TORT (A private wrong committed by one person against another)..

  13. OFFER • A proposal by one party to another intended to create a legally binding agreement • EXAMPLE- A CAR DEALER OFFERS YOU A PRICE ON A CAR.

  14. Random Fact of the Day • Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice.

  15. ACCEPTANCE • The second party's unqualified willingness to go along with the first party's proposal

  16. Genuine Agreement • An agreement that is true and genuine: a valid offer is met by a valid acceptance

  17. bilateral contract • A bilateral contract is an agreement in which each of the parties to the contract makes a promise or set of promises to the other party or parties. • For example, in a contract for the sale of a home, the buyer promises to pay the seller $200,000 in exchange for the seller's promise to deliver title to the property.

  18. unilateral contract • In a unilateral contract, only one party to the contract makes a promise. • A typical example is the reward contract: A promises to pay a reward to B if B finds A's dog. B is not under an obligation to find A's dog, but A is under an obligation to pay the reward to B if B does find the dog.

  19. CHARACTERISTICS OF A CONTRACT • EXPRESS- oral or written • IMPLIED- no single word is exchanged (comes from the actions of the parties involved). • Example-paying cash in advance to pump gas.
