MUJI 2d CV2104
Offer.
To create a contract, the parties have to agree on the terms of the contract. Whether they have agreed on the terms of the contract depends on whether [party's name] made an offer that was accepted by [other party's name].
A party makes an offer when [he] invites the other party to accept [his] terms in such a way that the party accepting the offer realizes that if [he] accepts the terms, both parties will become obligated to each other. The terms of the offer have to be clear and definite.
All of the important terms of the offer have to be accepted unconditionally. If the accepting party accepts some terms of the offer, but not others, or proposes different or additional terms, this becomes a counteroffer which then must be accepted unconditionally by the other party before a contract is formed.
