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.
unilateral contract
A bilateral contract.
If only one of the parties undertakes a promise, it is referred to as "imperfect bilateral contract". For example, an agency contract without remuneration or loan contract without interest on a loan for use. In the latter, the borrower of the loan has only the obligation to return what he has borrowed whereas the other party has no counter obligation to fulfill.

Bilateral Sale is a direct or straightforward contract of sale. It is unalterable so it binds the seller and the buyer.
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.

No, the acceptance of a business advertisement alone does not create a binding contract. An advertisement is generally considered an invitation to treat, meaning it invites potential buyers to make an offer to purchase the item. A contract is only perfected when there is a clear acceptance of an offer from one party by another, along with mutual consent and consideration. Therefore, further action is required beyond merely accepting the advertisement to form a legally binding contract.
i would say that it is bilateral other than unilateral because my name is dr. yargen schmargen! served! bled When a student enrolls, the act of sending the application is an invitation to treat. If the university then offers the student a place, the student then accepts the university offer. Hence a contract would only be formed after the student conveys the acceptance.
