Stage of the contract

What is an acceptance? It is one of several stages of the transaction. Here begins a kind of branching into two systems that treat the process in different ways. In Italy, Germany and France, a contract is concluded when the offeror receives an acceptance. The second system is somewhat different. In England, Japan and the US, the agreement enters into force at the time of sending a positive response to the post of the offeror. This system is figuratively called the "mailbox system". Even if the acceptance came to the post office with a certain delay, and it was sent at the appointed time, the contract will still be concluded. In this system, such a response is not considered to be overdue, therefore, there are no problems in approving the transaction. But there are times when the offer itself reaches the acceptor with a delay. In this case, the respondent should immediately notify the sender of this, which, in turn, will send a notice of the correct and timely dispatch of the acceptance. Quite fair terms of the transaction. What is acceptance and what are its features based on Russian legislation? Its main properties are completeness and unconditional. When the answer to an offer comes in such a way that the acceptor agrees to conclude a transaction with several other conditions, then the contract is immediately considered invalid and a new one is drawn up.

Forms of acceptance

There are several forms with which you can respond to an offer:

• Written answer. Its transmission is possible by fax, telegraph and other improvised means.
• Public offer. A vivid example of this is the display of products on the shelves and shop windows. Acceptance in this case is the purchase of goods by the consumer.
• Commitment of actions specified in the contract at the appointed time. Such processes are called "conclusive".
• Silence, which when reaching a threshold of more than 10 days is considered a positive response to the offer. As a rule, this form of acceptance is most often used in property processes.
