How a Contract Is Formed
When is a contract actually formed? The key is an offer and an acceptance.
① The Offer
First, one party presents the terms of a contract and proposes them to the other. This is called an offer.
② Acceptance
When the other party accepts it, both sides agree, and a contract is formed.
Verbal Deals Count
Even without a written contract, as a rule, a verbal promise forms a contract. However, the law requires some contracts to be in writing.
A Duty to Keep It
Once a contract is formed, both sides must keep their promises. In a sale, the seller hands over the goods, and the buyer pays for them.
Put It in Writing
With only a verbal promise, people may later argue about who said what. Putting it in a written contract helps prevent trouble.
Offer + Acceptance = Contract
A contract is formed when an offer meets an acceptance. For important promises, it's safest to put them in writing.
Create 3D explainer videos like this sample from your documents and chat
Just attach product documents, drawings, or CAD data and tell the AI in chat what video you want. The AI plans the storyboard, builds the 3D scenes, and turns it into a video with narration and captions. You pay only for what you use (a rough guide is about 3,500 credits for a 1-minute video with 2 small revisions).
