An invitation to treat is where a person or business invites people to make an offer to form a contract. It can be confused with an offer in that accepting an offer creates a binding contract, whereas accepting an invitation to treat only constitutes making an offer. An example of an invitation to treat is a store's ad in the Sunday paper. Conditional auctions (those where the winning bid is subject to the seller's approval) are also invitations to treat, but a traditional auction is an offer.

The below links can give you more information on invitations to treat. Because invitations to treat are jurisdictional-specific, you should contact a contract law attorney in your area for detailed information on your state's law.
