Once made, an offer does not last forever. If it is not accepted, it ends without any contract arising:
1. at a prescribed time, if so stated in the offer,
2. at the end of a reasonable length of time if the offer does not state how long it will remain open,
3. by rejection of the offer by the offeree,
4. if the offeree makes a counteroffer,
5. if it is revoked (withdrawn) or modified by the offerer before the offeree accepts, or
6. by the death or insanity of the offerer or offeree.

Does an offer last forever?

Generally an offeree who accepts an offer must accept it exactly as made. If the offeree changes the offerer’s terms in any important way, the result is a counteroffer. In making a counteroffer the offeree says in legal effect, “I refuse your offer, here is my counteroffer”. Thus, a counteroffer not only terminates the original offer, but also immediately becomes a new offer. The original offer cannot be accepted by the offeree after a counteroffer has been made unless the original offer is renewed by the offerer.

A debtor is a person or a business that owes money, goods, or services to another. Whatever is owed is generally called the debt. The creditor is the one to whom the debt is owed. A legally enforceable debt normally arises out of a contract where something of value has been exchanged for a promise to provide money, goods, or services.

During the Middle Ages, charging any interest on loans was illegal; today it is legal and borrowing is considered beneficial to growth and productivity in our society. As a consequence, the debtor/creditor relationship is encouraged and protected by our laws. This protection extends not only to creditors, by making them more secure in the lending of resources, but to debtors, by making the system fairer and by providing bankruptcy as a last resort.

The most important of the laws protecting creditors allow the creditor to acquire a legal interest in (that is, a right in or claim to) some specific property of the debtor. This interest is enforceable if the debtor defaults (fails to pay according to the terms of the agreement) and is called a security interest. The debt is referred to as a secured debt. A creditor, who holds a security interest, is a secured creditor.

Usually, the debtor keeps possession of the liened property as long as the debt is not in default. Mortgages on homes are very common examples of this type of secured debt. However, if there is a default, the creditor is allowed to peacefully repossess the secured property if it is movable, such as a car or TV.
