formation of contracts

Contract formation involves a clear process where two or more parties agree to certain terms. It starts when one party makes an offer, proposing specific conditions. The other party must accept this offer without changes for the contract to be valid. Both sides need to have the intent to create a legal agreement and understand the terms. Once accepted, and if both parties have the capacity to contract (e.g., are of legal age and have sound mind), a binding contract is formed. This process ensures that agreements are clear, mutual, and enforceable by law.
