Acceptance by Performance

Acceptance by performance refers to a situation in contract law where a party demonstrates their acceptance of an offer through actions rather than words. For example, if someone offers to pay for a service, and the other person starts performing that service, their actions indicate acceptance of the offer. This concept highlights that a contract can be formed not just by verbal agreement but also by the act of fulfilling the promised terms. It emphasizes the significance of behaviors in establishing a legal agreement between parties.
