📖 1. Contract Elements

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Offer: A definitive proposal made by one party (offeror) to another (offeree) indicating a willingness to enter into a contract, which must be communicated and clear in terms.

  • Acceptance: The unqualified agreement by the offeree to the terms of the offer, which must mirror the offer and be communicated effectively to form a binding contract.

  • Consideration: Something of value exchanged between parties, such as money, services, or goods, which is essential for the validity of a contract; it signifies mutual inducement.

  • Capacity: The legal ability of parties to enter into a contract, generally requiring that parties be of legal age (usually 18+) and mentally competent.

  • Legality: The requirement that the contract’s subject matter be lawful; contracts involving illegal activities are void and unenforceable.
