Offer acceptances {acceptance} {agreement, contract} form contracts. Offer rejections terminate offers. Offering terms determine acceptance means. Offeree must know and perform acceptance conditions set by offerer. Accidentally performing offer conditions is not acceptance. Contract goes into effect when offeree puts agreement to accept offer in the mail, gives it to telegraph clerk, or telephones, before offerer actually receives acceptance. Silence can never be contract acceptance. Contracts that require someone to do or say nothing are not valid contracts.
