Lesson 7-3 (How are contract offer accepted) UNIT 2: Contracts Lesson 7-3 (How are contract offer accepted)

What will you learn? What are the elements needed to create a valid Acceptance? How are acceptances made? Is time a factor in determining when and how an acceptance is effective?

What is an acceptance? An acceptance occurs when a party to whom the offer has been made (The offeree) “agrees” to the proposal. If I offer to sell a dirt bike for $400, I am the offeror. If someone reading my advertisement shows up and agrees to pay the $400, an acceptance has been made Ratification (Final agreement) takes place once a contract is signed, payment is made or the products are exchanged

Review: 6 parts to a contract? Offer and Acceptance: Agreement on mutually acceptable terms Genuine Assent: Not forced into contract or lied to Legality: Must be legal Consideration: Money or exchange of value Capacity: “Understand” your actions Writing: Most not required to be written

What are the 3 requirements of offer and acceptance Serious and legal offer Terms of the offer are “definite and complete” Communicated to the offeree “Only” the offeree can accept Acceptance must match the terms of the offer “exactly” Agreement communicated back to offeror

Who can accept an offer? Only the Offeree The Offeree can be one person or a group The Offeree is the “first” person to accept usually or the final person who the offeror agree to sell the product to EXAMPLE: If I offer to sell my house for $225,000, I could get multiple offers to buy it for more or less than the amount I am asking. The offeree is the person I eventually agree to sell to.

Why must the acceptance match the offer ”Exactly”? The “Offeror” has the power to decide all terms of a contract if they decide Its their product or service, so they can do as they wish The terms of acceptance must match the terms of the final offer “Exactly”, called the MIRROR IMAGE RULE Any changes in the offer is called a counteroffer

How is the sale of goods different from other contracts? Goods are sold by retailers or businesses Retailers are overseen by “UCC” Law Rules for acceptance of an offer differ slightly Offers are set and agreed to based on ticket price Changed terms are not called “Counteroffers” but rather are called proposals

Compare common law/ ucc law Common Law agreements Ucc law agreements “Non” business related agreements Counteroffers “Change” original offers “Options” are used to keep offers open “Business” based agreements Proposals, rather than counteroffers are made to change agreements “Firm Offers” are used to keep offers open

Why must the acceptance be communicated back to the offeror? The acceptance of an offer can be made verbally, in writing or through email, mail or other written forms Some businesses require communication to take place by a certain date Unless otherwise stated, acceptance of an offer takes place when “Sent” not received….. BUT, the offeror may require that acceptance of an offer ONLY take effect when its received by the business

Why do acceptances take effect when sent most times? Date sent is more important than when received (Unless otherwise asked for by offeror) Date sent is stamped on Mail, inside Email, fax or other electronic device, as proof when sent Sometimes there is a delay when something is received (Ex: Email can be sent at 1pm, but not received until 5pm) Law states date sent is valid unless otherwise stated

Can an offeree accept an offer through silence? Yes, BUT only if the acceptance is based on some ongoing relationship (EX: Pepsi vendor…) The offeror CANNOT word an offer in a way to “Trick” the offeree into accepting by saying nothing.. No person is ever under any obligation to respond to any offer being made to them

Why can’t silence be used as a trick? Illegal Can be hidden easily within details of the offer Can add extra charges without knowledge of offeree Offeree must be given the option of accepting the offer verbally, in writing or other Offeree must accept some way, not forced into agreement (Genuine assent)

What is the difference? Unilateral acceptance Bilateral acceptance Offeree accepts the offer being made by performing their obligations in some way. Ex) If I hire a person to cut my grass every time it gets above 2 inches and agree to pay the person $30 each time they complete the task, its unilateral agreed to once the obligation (Cutting the grass) has been done.. Promise for a promise “Most common” form of contract Ex) Going to a store and buying something. The store gets your money, you get the goods. Also, ordering a pizza is bilateral. You get food, they get money.

Is this a unilateral contract or bilateral contract if you find the cat?
