What is a valid offer?

In Delaware, a valid offer is an expression of intent to enter into a contract with another person or business. An offer must be specific and include all material terms of the contract, such as price, quantity, and timeframe. The offer must also be communicated in a way that the other person can understand and accept. An offer is an invitation to enter a contract, which means that it is not legally binding until it is accepted by the other party. The offer does not become a contract until the other party accepts it. Acceptance must be clear and definite, and must include all of the elements of the offer. A valid offer must also be supported by consideration, which means that both parties must receive something of value in exchange for their agreement. If the offer does not specify a consideration, the court may reject it. Finally, a valid offer must be made in good faith. Good faith means that the offer is made honestly and in an effort to enter into a legally binding contract with the other party. If the offer is made in bad faith, it will not be considered a valid offer and the court may reject it.
