a unilateral contract is one in which one party 's promise is exchanged with other party's act. insurance contract is unilateral because one party ie the insured pays premium regularly and the insured ie the other party promises to compensate for any loss caused to the insured. here the act of paying premium by insured is exchanged with the promise of insurer.

The unilateral contract with the PepsiCo and Harrier Jet, this is a one sided agreement. This is where they used the Harrier jet to get customers to buy their product to win points to earn something in return but was not a promise. Only one party obligated to do something and that is usually to pay just like the Seattle man did when buying the points. Contracts are voluntary agreements between the parties which one makes an offer while the other accepts it and there is no mutual contract.
