Q of the day, What's your favorite Holiday?
Changing ClassesNo more than 40 students in a class.
All of them are at 39-40 except the last 2 on Friday.
This means no more changing for holidays or I can get in trouble.
Sorry!

ContractWhat is a Contract?
An Agreement enforceable by a court.
A contract can be written or spoken (Express), maybe even implied (no one said anything).
People Involved: Offeror/Seller
Offeree (Acceptor)/Buyer
What is required for a Contract?Agreement!
The two people have to agree, not force allowed. This requires: Offer + Acceptance + Mutual Assent
(both agree)
Consideration Both parties have to give something up.There needs
to be a loss on both sides, otherwise it is unequal.
Capacity For example, not a baby or really, really drunk.
Legality You cannot agree to sell Drugs or A Car You Don't
Own.
AgreementOffer = Parties + Product/Service + $$ + Time of Completion
How to make an offer (very important!) The offeror (seller) has to INTEND now to sell the item.
Acceptance The Offeree (Buyer) has to INTEND now to buy the item
***THE OFFER = ACCEPTANCE
RejectionWhat if I say no? - The contract never happens
What if I change the offer? - I'll give you 15RMB instead of 20RMB. Is there a Contract?
Counteroffer & RevocationIf the Offeror Changes it before there is an agreement, then there is a new offer.
= REVOCATION
If the Offeree changes it, then the become the offeror.
= COUNTEROFFER
Unilateral ContractInstead of asking for a good, I ask for a service or that you do something.
"Cut my hair and I'll give you 50 dollars).
All you have to do is cut my hair, even without words, to get the money.
Bilateral ContractYou agree to give me something in exchange for something.
We Both agree.
Quasi-ContractThere is no spoken agreement.
BUT! one person does something repeatedly and is not told to stop. It is reasonable that they expected to be paid.
ProblemsFAIRNESS!
