A bilateral contract is an exchange of promises the law will enforce. A contract requires an offer, acceptance, and consideration. An advertisement is generally considered an invitation for an offer. In consumer transactions, a buyer is typically the offeror. The advertisement serves as the sellers invitation to the buyer to make an offer, thus the offer could be rejected by the seller. However, an advertisement could be construed as a valid offer if it contains clear and definitive terms. For example: Playstation 4 for 50% off to first 10 customers. The terms are clear and there is nothing left to negotiate. This would actually be a unilateral contract which becomes binding upon performance by the buyers.

What is a bilateral contract?

A bilateral contract is a contract which requires agreement and performance from both parties to the contract. Most of what we think of as contracts are bilateral in nature. One party promises to do X and the other party promises to do Y. Bilateral contracts may not require negotiation but often this is a component. In contrast a unilateral contract occurs where one party makes an offer and the other party may accept by performance rather than by offering something in return. If you offer $5 to the first person who will bring you a hotdog, a unilateral contract is formed when someone performs the condition and provides you with a hotdog. If on the other hand Person A responds to you unilateral offer that he will agree to bring you a hotdog for $5 a bilateral contract is formed if you agree to accept his offer/counteroffer.
