No one can seriously pretend to remain unaffected by advertisements.
It is impossible to close your eyes to the pressing offers to buy this or that thing that fill our streets, newspapers and TV programmes. No matter how hard we resist, the advertisements get into our minds and stay there. Though they seem so varied, they have one thing in common: they make strong appeal to our emotions.

A contract is an agreement, which is enforced by law. This agreement normally results from an exchange of promises.
For example, a husband and wife want their house painted. A painter examines the building and offers (promises) to do the job for $1,500 during the next month. The owners could accept the offer by promising to pay the price. For a contract to arise, the painter as offerer (one who makes the offer) must make a definite offer, and generally the offeree (one to whom the offer is made) must accept the offer exactly as presented. Of course, the parties may negotiate additional details. The homeowners could reject the offer by demanding a lower price or earlier completion. The painter, in turn, could accept or reject such a counteroffer. Without both offer and acceptance, there is no agreement. No particular language need be used. The intent of the parties is the important thing.

There are some important exceptions to the requirement of definiteness. For example, medical, dental, and legal fees are often set after the work is completed. Many workers are employed on a payday basis; the actual length of employment remains uncertain. In contracts between merchants, when either the price or the credit and delivery terms are not specified, current market prices and trade customs may be used to provide such details.

In business, producers sometimes agree to sell their entire output to a single buyer during a specified period. Sometimes buyers agree to purchase all of certain materials they may need during a given period from a single supplier. In both cases, the actual amounts remain uncertain until the contracts are performed. The parties must act in good faith as to quantities delivered or demanded.

A person cannot accept an offer without knowing about it. That is because any action taken would not have been a response to the offer. Thus, an offer of a reward that is made to certain persons or even to the general public cannot be accepted by someone who has never seen or heard of the offer. In such cases, the offerer may get what was sought, but most courts require that anyone who claims the prize must have known of the offer and acted in response to it when performing the requested act.

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.
