What are the key differences between an offeree and an offeror in a contract negotiation?
An offeree is the party who receives an offer in a contract negotiation, while an offeror is the party who makes the offer. The offeree has the choice to accept or reject the offer, while the offeror is the one initiating the negotiation by making the offer.
Define unilateral contract?
A contract in which only one party makes an express promise, or undertakes a performance without first securing a reciprocal agreement from the other party. In a unilateral, or one-sided, contract, one party, known as the offeror, makes a promise in exchange for an act (or abstention from acting) by another party, known as the offeree. If the offeree acts on the offeror's promise, the offeror is legally obligated to fulfill the contract, but an offeree cannot be forced to act (or not act), because no return promise has been made to the offeror. After an offeree has performed, only one enforceable promise exists, that of the offeror. A unilateral contract differs from a Bilateral Contract, in which the parties exchange mutual promises. Bilateral contracts are commonly used in business transactions; a sale of goods is a type of bilateral contract. Reward offers are usually unilateral contracts. The offeror (the party offering the reward) cannot impel anyone to fulfill the reward offer. An offeree can sue for breach of contract, however, if the offeror does not provide the reward after the offeree has fulfilled the contract's requirements
Is there consideration in a unilateral contract?
In a unilateral contract, consideration is present, but it operates differently than in a bilateral contract. The offeror provides consideration by promising something (e.g., payment) in exchange for the performance of a specific act by the offeree. The offeree's act constitutes the consideration that completes the contract. Thus, while only one party makes a promise initially, the consideration comes into effect once the act is performed.

What is the five ways in which an offer can come to a end?
An offer can come to an end in five primary ways: Acceptance: The offer is accepted by the offeree, resulting in a binding contract. Rejection: The offeree rejects the offer, which terminates it. Counteroffer: The offeree makes a counteroffer, effectively rejecting the original offer. Lapse of Time: The offer expires after a specified time period or a reasonable time if no period is specified. Revocation: The offeror withdraws the offer before it is accepted, provided the offeree has not already relied on it.
