A valid offer

• A valid offer generally has several basic elements

  1. There must be genuine intent to contract
  
  2. It must be communicated to the acquirer
  3. It must be certain and definitive in its terms and conditions

• And, as we said earlier

  4. Both parties must be free of duress one from another
  

  • I.e. the contract can be entered into voluntarily

• If these conditions are not met

  • All or part of the contract may be invalid
