An acceptance is a response to the offeree that indicated that they approve of the terms of the offer. Once an offer is accepted, a legally binding contract is created. An acceptance must be intentionally made. The offeree must communicate to the offeror that they agree with the terms of the proposed contract. Both parties must be mentally competent for a contract to be legally binding. The contract also cannot contain anything unlawful; otherwise it is also not considered a valid contract. The communication of the acceptance of an offer can be bilateral or unilateral.
