can be found everywhere. Almost every activity in buying and selling, leasing, and
other business transactions cannot be separated from the name of the agreement. The
agreements are basically oral and written, but today in the era of globalization, almost
writing gives more sense of certainty than an agreement made only verbally.
Almost in every business activity in the form of buying and selling, leasing, and
pouring the will or desire of the parties doing business which is realized in a draft
contract that contains clauses or points that are has been previously negotiated and
agreed upon by the parties. In the international level in the era of globalization, the
Every citizen can now conduct business internationally, meaning that one citizen can
enter into a country with a foreign citizenship or residing in another country. Because
of this, there is a need for rules that can regulate the traffic of business transactions
and others, so that contract law emerged which became a very important instrument
that contained signs in the traffic of business transactions, in which contract law
emerged to protect the rights of the parties and certainly had the power to force the
parties to carry out their obligations. The existence of contract law itself becomes
very fundamental for agreements, both local scale and internationally scaled. This is
marked by the successful implementation of international treaty law conferences in
Vienna from 26 March to 24 May 1968 and from the date 9 April to 22 May 1969
In the Common law countries, it is stated that there are three things that become a
legal condition of a contract, namely: offer and acceptance, meeting of minds and
consideration.
Every contract must start with an offer and an acceptance. What is intended by an
offer is a statement given by someone to another person followed by the desire / will
to be bound to the statement, the form can be written, oral, and conduct (conduct).
The will to be bound by the statement made does not have to be in written form.
Rules of Offer
Bidding submitted to the public will result in two types of contracts, namely bilateral
contracts and unilateral contracts. A bilateral contract is made by two people and both
parties must fulfill their promise. The unilateral contract is an offer that requires
action. An offer is a statement that gives the parties the opportunity to make the
statement and subsequently binds the proposer. The offer also causes the bidder to
expose himself to a contractual bond. Once the party to whom the offer relates says
acceptance, the bidder will continue to be bound by the contract. This bond is a
Example: Kalvert says to Aiken, "I would like to buy your shoes for RM85." Aiken
then replies "I agree to sell it at your stated price". Here Kalvert made an offer
because his statement was a sad one to contract. When Aiken replied to the
agreement, the agreement was reached. Kalvert and Aiken were bound by the
contract. An offer is an opportunity offered by the bidder to the bidder to bind himself
to the contract. The implication of the offer is that when it is received with
acceptance, the bidder can no longer withdraw. Withdrawing an offer that is already
legally accepted is a breach of contract. Offers sometimes don't apply right away.
Usually, real offers are preceded by negotiation, promotion, bargain or show. This
The Invitation Offer is also a statement of the offer. This statement looks like an offer
or suggestion because the situation and the words used are very similar. But, in
reality, it's not an offer. The issuer of this statement is not bound by the contract in the
event of feedback, although the party providing the feedback may be considered a real
offer. The difference between an offer and an offer invitation lies in the intention. The
offer is made with the intention of binding the contractor to the contract as a result of
the other party's acceptance. The person making the offer is ready to enter into a
contract. A Contract Invitation is only a test to know the interests of the other party or
to tell you what to offer. Offer contractors are not ready to be bound by the contract.
Intention is something that is difficult to prove in court. But this intention can be
assumed through the circumstances of the case, the parties involved and the content of
the statement. This means that in cases involving a dispute over whether an action is
an offer or an invitation only, we need to look at the facts in detail and in particular by
Example of cases
The defendants, Boots that allegedly sell drugs or illegal drugs. Plaintiffs as
the body governing the sale of illegal drugs or drugs intend to impose legal
action on Boots. By law, it is an offense for any person to "sell" certain drugs.
The question is whether the sale date and the items on display are still an
offer or an invitation only. Lord Goddard has decided that: “The goods show
is just an invitation that invites people to make an offer to buy it. Any
the payment spell is a proposal that the cashier can accept or reject. "
Negotiating the auction. The auction usually starts with the auctioneer
declaring the opening price and giving people the opportunity to make higher
bidding. The auctioneer's bid to open this price offer is only one bid
invitation, not one bid. The offer is only made by the submitting party. Each
party who mentioned the price they wanted made an offer to the auctioneer.
The auctioneer will continue to open up opportunities for the public to make
the highest bid. When no one else offers, the auctioneer will tap the hammer
down and the person offering the highest price is bound by the contract

Conformity of will in this case is the existence of a statement of will between the
parties regarding the object of the contract. If the object contract is clear then the

does not match the offer. If a counter-offer occurs, the offer loses its power due to
rejection. The question in this counter-offer is, who then becomes the offeror? In this
connection the offeror is the party who offers the counter offer. Acceptance marks an
agreement. Therefore determining the time of acceptance is very important. The rights
and obligations of the parties are effective after the agreement is formed. The parties
cannot demand the same from others before they reach an agreement. Thus the parties
are only bound to one another's contractual obligations when they have reached an
agreement. In this connection, the issue of the time of acceptance is an important
issue to be answered. The development in the field of technology and the business
the aspects of the contract on all sides, including aspects of its formation.
New types of business transactions emerge with their respective patterns which often
contain different characters both in legal aspects and in economic aspects. The
different ways and media in the formation process have different implications in
determining when the agreement occurs to the parties. Conventional contracts that are
formed either orally or in writing will be different from contracts that will be formed
electronically.
accepting time is that each statement is binding. In this perspective, the moment when
the acceptance is stated, is considered as the moment when the acceptance occurs.
Conclusion

been covered regarding contract law with all aspects that exist and are related to
and rights of parties. Without contract, as good and as detailed as any agreement may
