Requirements of an Offer
For an offer to be effective: The offeror must objectively intend to be
bound by the offer. The terms of the offer must be definite or
reasonably certain. The offer must be communicated to the
offeree.
![Page 6: Agreement By Dhoni Yusra. Introduction Contracts are voluntary agreements between the parties. One party makes an offer that is accepted by the other](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032806/56649f0b5503460f94c1ecc1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Objective Theory of Contracts
A theory that says the intent to contract is judged by the reasonable person standard and not by the subjective intent of the parties.
![Page 7: Agreement By Dhoni Yusra. Introduction Contracts are voluntary agreements between the parties. One party makes an offer that is accepted by the other](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032806/56649f0b5503460f94c1ecc1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Objective Theory of Contracts (continued)
No valid contract results from: Preliminary negotiations Offers that are made in jest, anger, or undue
excitement Offers that are an expression of opinion
![Page 8: Agreement By Dhoni Yusra. Introduction Contracts are voluntary agreements between the parties. One party makes an offer that is accepted by the other](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032806/56649f0b5503460f94c1ecc1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Definiteness of Terms
The terms of an offer must be clear enough to the offeree to be able to decide whether to accept or reject the terms of the offer.
If the terms are indefinite, the courts cannot enforce the contract or determine an appropriate remedy for its breach.

Definiteness of Terms (continued)
Implied Terms The court can supply a missing term if a
reasonable term can be implied. Terms that are supplied in this way are called
implied terms.
