	Offer and acceptance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Offer and acceptance analysis is a traditional approach in contract law used to determine whether an agreement exists between two parties.
		The offer and acceptance formula, developed in the 19th century, identifies a moment of formation when the parties are of one mind.
		The acceptance must be communicated: Depending on the construction of the contract, the acceptance may not have to come until the notification of the performance of the conditions in the offer as in Carlill's case, but nonetheless the acceptance must be communicated.

	Acceptance Processing
		The determination to accept an offer in compromise is based on sound decisions relating to an analysis of the individual taxpayer's facts and circumstances and financial situation.
		When two or more related offers are being recommended for acceptance, but acceptance is based on one financial analysis, one acceptance narrative may be used.
		Offers from Federal employees require a determination of whether public policy implications exist based on the sensitivity of the employee's position or area of responsibility.

	Contract Law, Part 4: Offer & Acceptance
		The court said that "an offer can be withdrawn before it is accepted and it is immaterial whether the offer is expressed to be open for acceptance for a given time or not." But a withdrawal has no effect until it is communicated to the person to whom the offer has been sent.
		The courts have laid down two conditions for conduct to be equated with acceptance: (1) that the conduct was an expression of acceptance and not done for some other reason or motive, and (2) that the action or conduct was intended as acceptance.
		In this case, while there was no written acceptance to the offer, the conduct of the respondent was such that the court drew the conclusion that is accepted the offer.

	Deferment of Acceptance of Offer
		As this policy relates to deferment of acceptance of offer, the limitations of the Statutes and Rules of the University do not apply as the individuals concerned have not accepted an offer and are therefore not 'students' of the University.
		Offers of accommodation in student residences will not be made to a deferred applicant though they can reapply for accommodation when they take up their Offer of Place and will be considered with other acceptors at that time.
		Where the University no longer offers the course for admission, the applicant may be offered a place in another comparable course of his or her choice provided he or she would have been eligible for admission when the initial offer of place was made.

	AcademicDB - Offer & Acceptance.
		An offer is an announcement of a person's willingness to enter into a contract.
		An offer is capable of being converted into an agreement by acceptance and must consist of a definite promise to be bounded, provided that certain specific terms are accepted, and not a mere offer to negotiate.
		By applying the case of Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co (1893), the court took the view that the advertisement was an offer to the whole world and not an attempt to contract with whole world.

	offer and acceptance
		Offer and Acceptance under the UCC-Basic Principles and introduction to the battle of the forms.
		This can create an offer and acceptance issue, because under the "mirror image" rule of common law, the response with terms different from the offer is not an acceptance, but a counteroffer.
		A definite and seasonable expression of acceptance or a written confirmation which is sent within a reasonable time operates as an acceptance even though it states terms additional to or different from those offered or agreed upon, unless acceptance is expressly made conditional on assent to the additional or different terms.

	Acceptance of an Offer in Compromise May Preclude Further Relief
		In general, absent fraud or mutual mistake, accepting an offer in compromise (OIC) conclusively settles the liability of the taxpayer specified in the offer.
		The offer is considered withdrawn when the Commissioner receives such written notification by personal delivery or certified mail, or when the Commissioner issues a letter confirming the taxpayer’s intent to withdraw the offer.
		While no evidence existed that the taxpayer’s offer was originally based on his erroneous assumption of the possible refund windfall in the first instance, had the taxpayer later wished to withdraw the offer, he had time to do so.

	Offer And Acceptance
		The Offer.—An offer, or proposal to do a thing, may be made either by words or signs, either orally or in writing, but in law it is not regarded as an offer until it comes to the knowledge of the person to whom it is made.
		Offer by Mail.—In commercial transactions when an offer is made by mail, the general rule is that the offerer is entitled to an answer by return mail, but this will not apply in all cases; for ex-ample, where there are several mails each day.
		Where an Offer Is Made by Letter, it is generally held that delivering a letter containing an acceptance of the offer completes the understanding.

	The K-Zone: acceptance of offer
		A valid acceptance must agree in all particulars with the offer; otherwise it is a counter-offer, not an acceptance (see: Counter-offer) at all.
		In the latter case, the acceptance is signalled by the offeree's acting as though the contract were accepted.
		It is permissible for a written acceptance to be made by post, and the usual ruling is that acceptance occurs at the moment of posting, not of receipt, which can lead to anomalies (see: AcceptanceOfOfferByPost).

	Offer Acceptance Consideration
		Advertisements are usually not offers, because they do not contain all of the elements for a contract; particularly the identification of the parties involved.
		The offer will be void if it is not accepted within the stated time; if no time is given a reasonable period of time will be derived from the circumstances.
		At any time before the offer is accepted it can be revoked by the person making the offer, unless the parties have entered into a separate option contract where the person making the offer agrees to keep the offer open for a certain period of time.

	Contract Offer and Acceptance (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Until an offer is accepted, the offeror is free - unless it has promised to hold the offer open - to revoke the offer.
		Once an offeree rejects an offer, the offer dies and the offeree's legal power to accept the offer and form a contract terminates.
		A counter-offer is an offer made by an offeree on the same subject matter as the original offer, but proposing a different bargain than the original offer.

	Between Offer and Acceptance by Chet Olsen
		Especially if it's your first offer, your only offer, or the offer you were hoping for the most, the inclination is to immediately accept.
		Once an offer is made, you should feel confident in asking to meet more lawyers from the firm.

	Mailbox rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The mailbox rule or the postal acceptance rule is a term of common law contracts which determines the timing of acceptance of an offer when mail is contemplated as the medium of acceptance.
		The implication of this is that it is possible for a letter of acceptance to be posted after a letter of revocation of the offer has been posted, but before it is delivered, and acceptance will be complete at the time that the letter of acceptance was posted.
		However, if B ships the red coathangers with a note that they sent these because they had run out of blue coathangers, this is not an acceptance, but rather an accommodation, which is a form of counter-offer.
