Section (1)?
An offer, to be capable of acceptance, must involve a definite promise by the offeror that he will bind himself if the exact terms specified by him are accepted.
An offer may be made either to a particular person or to the public at large.
If an offer takes the form of a promise in return for an act, the performance of that act is in itself an adequate indication of assent.

Section (2)?
APPEAL from a decision of Hawkins, J. The defendants, who were proprietors and
vendors of a medical preparation called “The Carbolic Smoke Ball,” inserted in the Pall Mall Gazette of November 13, 1891, and in other newspapers, the following advertisement:
![Page 12: Private Law - Contract](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568138a5550346895da0644c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Section (2)?
“100l. Reward will be paid by the Carbolic Smoke Ball Company to any person who contracts the increasing epidemic influenza, colds, or any disease caused by taking cold, after having used the ball three times daily for two weeks according to the printed directions supplied with each ball. 1000l. Is deposited with the Alliance Bank, Regent Street, shewing our sincerity in the matter.
![Page 13: Private Law - Contract](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568138a5550346895da0644c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Section (2)?
During the last epidemic of influenza many thousand carbolic smoke balls were sold as preventives against this disease, and in no ascertained case was the disease contracted by those using the carbolic smoke ball. One carbolic smoke ball will last a family several months, making it the cheapest remedy in the world at the price, 10s. post free. The ball can be refilled at a cost of 5s. Address, Carbolic Smoke Ball Company, 27, Princes Street, Hanover Square, London.”
![Page 14: Private Law - Contract](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568138a5550346895da0644c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Section (2)?
The plaintiff, a lady, on the faith of this advertisement, bought one of the balls at a chemist’s, and used it as directed, three times a day, from November 20, 1891, to January 17, 1892, when she was attacked by influenza.
![Page 15: Private Law - Contract](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568138a5550346895da0644c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Section (3)?
Hawins, J., held that she was entitled to recover the 100l. The defendants appealed.
![Page 16: Private Law - Contract](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568138a5550346895da0644c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Section (4)?
Lindley, L.J. delivered judgment dismissing the appeal.
![Page 17: Private Law - Contract](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568138a5550346895da0644c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Section (5)?
Bowen, L.J. I am of the same opinion. We were asked to say that this document was a contract too vague to be enforced.
![Page 18: Private Law - Contract](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568138a5550346895da0644c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Section (5)?
The first observation which arises is that the document itself is not a contract at all, it is only an offer made to the public. The defendants contend next, that it is an ofer the terms of which are too vague to be treated as a definite offer, inasmuch as there is no limit of time fixed for the catching of the influenza, and it cannot be supposed that the advertisers seriously meant to promise to pay money to every person who catches the influenza at any time after the inhaling of the smoke ball.
![Page 19: Private Law - Contract](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568138a5550346895da0644c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Definite offerDefinite offer
To be considered definite, an offer (and a To be considered definite, an offer (and a contract) generally must contain the contract) generally must contain the following terms: (1) identification of the following terms: (1) identification of the parties, (2) identification of the subject parties, (2) identification of the subject matter and quantity, (3) consideration to matter and quantity, (3) consideration to be paid, and (4) time of performancebe paid, and (4) time of performance
![Page 20: Private Law - Contract](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568138a5550346895da0644c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Section (5)?
It was urged also, that if you look at this document you will find much vagueness as to the persons with whom the contract was intended to be made – that, in the first place, its terms are wide enough to include persons who may have used the smoke ball before the advertisement was issued; at all events, that it is an offer to the world in general, and, also, that it is unreasonable to supose it to be a definite offer, because nobody in their senses would contract themselves out of the opportunity of checking the experiment which was going to be made at their own expense.
![Page 21: Private Law - Contract](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568138a5550346895da0644c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Section (5)?
It is also contended that the advertisement is rather in the nature of a puff or a proclamation than a promise or offer intended to mature into a contract when accepted. But the main point seems to me that the vagueness of the document shews that no contract whatever was intended.
