Only offerees may accept the offer made • The acceptance must match the offer • Acceptance Must be communicated to the offeror
Acceptance Must be communicated to the offeror • Bilateral contract- A promise from both parties to do something. • A seller promises to deliver topsoil to your home and you promise to pay $50 for the topsoil • Unilateral contract- Offeror promises something in return for the offeree’s performance. • You publicly promise $100 to whoever finds your lost camera. Looking for the camera doesn’t create a contract. Finding and returning the camera creates a contract.
