What makes the contract binding?
A contract is binding when it is entered into between parties having the capacity to enter a contract, and is made in light of adequate consideration. Consideration can be defined as something of value which is a detriment to the one who gives it and a benefit to one who receives it. For example, if A promises to mow B's lawn, and B promises to pay A $50 when he finishes, the parties have exchanged consideration -- here, a promise for a promise.

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.
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

Consideration is essential ex nudo pacto non oritur actio?
"Ex nudo pacto non oritur actio" is a Latin legal principle meaning that a bare or naked promise cannot be enforced without consideration. Consideration is essential in contract law as it refers to something of value exchanged between parties, which legitimizes the agreement and makes it binding. Without consideration, a promise lacks legal enforceability, reinforcing the idea that mutual benefit is crucial for a valid contract. Thus, consideration ensures that both parties have a stake in the agreement, making it more than just a casual promise.
How does reward situation where a unilateral contract is formed upon completion of the requested act?
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.
