Parties to a contract must be competent to contract?
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. http://sincerlysamski.blogspot.com/2011/09/writing-valid-contracts.html

No, the person who makes an offer to enter into a contract is called the offeror. The offeree is the person to whom the offer is made. The offeror proposes the terms of the contract, while the offeree has the option to accept, reject, or negotiate the offer.
When can an offer be withdrawn?
An offer can be withdrawn at any time before it has been accepted by the offeree. However, the withdrawal must be communicated effectively to the offeree to be valid. If the offer has a specified time frame for acceptance, it cannot be withdrawn until that period has expired. Additionally, if the offeree has already begun performance of a unilateral contract, the offer generally cannot be revoked.

What are the requirements of an acceptance?
Actually, consideration has nothing to do with offer and acceptance. It's a totally unrelated concept. A valid offer is essentially a statement or action which unambiguously lays out the terms of the proposed agreement (e.g. "I will pay you $1,000 if you paint my house" - if the offeree accepts, there will be no question as to the obligations of each party - the offeree has to paint the house, at which point the offeror has to pay him $1,000). The statement must also clearly leave the offeree with the power of acceptance - it must be something which the offeree can clearly accept or reject. A valid acceptance unambiguously adopts the terms of the offer, indicating an intent to perform under those terms. ---- consideration
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.
