Offer and Acceptance

Start with offers and agreement

The mind map Offers introduces types of offer, including express and implied, general and specific, and counter offers. It also includes examples and cases. Start there to see the range of ideas on the page, then use Agreement to connect an offer with acceptance. That map describes an offer as a promise to be bound on specific terms and acceptance as unqualified assent.

The mind map on the definition and termination of an offer provides another way to focus on those concepts. Its accompanying notes cover the same areas in a different format, which may be useful if you prefer reading notes alongside a map.

Move on to acceptance

Contract Law: Acceptance focuses on acceptance as a final and unqualified expression of assent. Read it after the offer maps to compare the two parts of an agreement. The page also lists an acceptance slide set and mind maps, so you can approach that part of the topic in more than one format.

The Offer and Acceptance flashcards cover topics including advertisements, auctions, websites and revocation. Use them alongside the maps to return to individual points after looking at the broader picture.

Use a quiz with a map

Offer Quiz is a place to practice after studying offers. The business law exam quiz includes statements about an apparent intention to create a binding obligation and about advertisements and social invitations. After taking a quiz, return to the relevant map or flashcards to go over the ideas in the questions.

Place the topic in the unit

Offer and Acceptance is a section of the Contract Law unit in Law (general and introduction). The resources on agreement bring the offer and acceptance material together within that unit. Choose a map or flashcard deck and use it to organize your study of the section.
