Offer and Acceptance Mind Map Offer and Acceptance Mind Map

This document presents a mind map on the topic of offer and acceptance in contract law. It outlines several key exceptions and qualifications to the general rule that acceptance of an offer must be communicated to the offeror using the method prescribed by the offeror. Specifically, it notes that (1) actual communication is not required if the offeror stipulates otherwise, (2) use of the post may be reasonable depending on the circumstances, and (3) some methods of communication like shop windows and advertisements are intended to invite offers rather than make offers. The map also discusses when silence cannot constitute acceptance and other qualifications around offer and acceptance.
