It must include the fundamental terms of the agreement with the intention that no further negotiations are to take place. It is possible to make a conditional offer. The effect of this is that an offer cannot be accepted if the condition has not been satisfied. For example the client requires the contractor to have a specific tool or machine before an offer can be made.
Advertisements, store flyers or catalogues do not count as offers, as these are not direct approaches to contract. A bid made on an auction, for example, is an offer. Upon winning the bid, the offer is accepted and becomes legally binding. Both parties then have to honor the terms of the offer. Both parties receive something of value out of the deal.
An offer to be valid must satisfy the following conditions. It claimed to be a cure for influenza and a number of other diseases. Mrs Carlill saw the advertisement, bought one of the balls and used it in accordance with the instructions. Mrs Carlill brought a claim to court. She contended that the advertisement and her reliance on it was a contract between her and the company, and so they ought to pay. The company argued it was not a serious contract.
When an offer is made by words, written or spoken, it is called an express offer. When the intention to make an offer is gathered from the conduct of the person, it is called an implied offer.
An offer made jocularly or in jest is not a valid offer. It must be the intention of the person making the offer that if the offer is accepted, it should give rise to a binding contract between them. An offer is said to be general when it is made to an unascertained body of individuals. It is made to the public at large and anyone may accept the same.
A specific offer is made to a definite person or persons and hence can be accepted only by the same person or persons. Where A offers to B to sell his scooter for Rs. When A offers a reward of Rs. Offer must be communicated to the offeree; otherwise it is not effective in the eyes of law. For this reason, all proceeding negotiations, whether oral or in writing are regarded as mere invitation to treat.
When a company seeks to raise capital from the public they make a public offer of share of the company. This has been held not to be an offer but an invitation to treat. They however have no right to allot more shares than have been applied for.
It is important to note that it is the person who applies for shares that makes the offer and the company accepts and rejects. So far, i have clearly defined and explained the differences between an offer and an invitation to treat in contract law. I believe that with what I have discussed in this article, you can practically differentiate between and offer and an invitation to treat.
