  2. How Can Offers be Ended? • Revocation by the Offeror • Time Stated in Offer • Reasonable Length of Time • Rejection by the Offeree • Counteroffer • Death or Insanity of Either the Offeror or Offeree • Destruction of the Specific Subject Matter

  3. How Can Offers be Ended?#1 Revocation by the Offeror • The right to withdraw an offer before it is accepted is known as the tight of revocation.

  4. How Can Offers be Ended?#2 Time Stated in Offer • The offeror may name a specific time that the offer must be accepted of rejected by. • Example: You have until October 15, and 8pm to accept or reject this offer.

  5. How Can Offers be Ended?#3 Reasonable Length of Time • When the offeror does not say how long the offer is open, it will end after a reasonable amount of time. • Life of item may affect how long it will be open. • An offer on a truckload of bananas will expire before an offer on a bulldozer.

  6. How Can Offers be Ended?#4 Rejection by the Offeree • When the offeree declines or rejects the offer, it is over.

  7. How Can Offers be Ended?#5 Counteroffer • If the offeree does not like the offer and makes a change to it, he/she is making a counteroffer and the original offer is over. • Example: If James was offered $300 for a truckload of bananas plus shipping to his store and James says, “How about I pay you the $300 and you include the shipping?” James has ended the original offer by making a counteroffer. James is now the offeror.

  8. How Can Offers be Ended?#6 Death of Insanity of Either the Offeror or Offeree • Death and insanity eliminate offers. • If Mark offers to sell his boat to Marshall and Mark dies in the meantime, his offer is now ended and Marshall cannot take advantage of it.

  9. How Can Offers be Ended?#7 Destruction of the Specific Subject Matter • If the item in the offer is destroyed or damaged, the original offer is over. • Example: Troy offered his expensive baseball card collection to John for $5000. In the meantime, Troy’s house was flooded and half of his cards were now damaged and unreadable. His original offer is over. He may now make a new offer.

  10. How Can an Offer be Kept Open? • Options- if the offeree gives something of value in return for a promise to keep the offer open, this agreement is a binding contract called an option. • Example- Drew was offered a building in downtown Boston to use for his new business. The cost of the building was $200,000. Drew gave the current owner $5,000 to keep the offer to him open for 90 days so he can make sure he could get the funding. Drew and the current landlord now have a contract to keep the offer open for 60 days to only Drew.
