Acceptance

An offer must be accepted for an enforceable agreement to be possible. To be valid, an acceptance must comply with certain legal rules. It generally must be unconditional and unequivocal, or it may be construed as a counter-offer or rejection. It must also satisfy rules of communication to the offeror. The general rule is that acceptance occurs when and where it is received by the offeror; although a special postal acceptance rule, if it applies, deems that acceptance occurs at the time the acceptance is posted.
