offeror
Học thuậtThân thiện
Definition
Noun: A person or entity that presents something (such as a proposal, bid, or item) to another party for their acceptance or rejection. In legal and contractual contexts, the offeror is the party who makes an offer, creating the power of acceptance in the offeree.
Usage
The term "offeror" is primarily used in formal, legal, business, and transactional contexts. It identifies the initiating party in an offer. - The offeror must clearly communicate the terms of the offer. - The contract is formed once the offeree communicates acceptance to the offeror.
Examples
- In a house sale, the buyer who submits a written bid is the offeror.
- The offeror of the merger proposal awaits the board's decision.
- Until the offeree accepts, the offeror may revoke the offer.
Advanced Usage
- Legal Principle: The offeror is said to "master the offer," controlling its terms, duration, and the method of acceptance.
- Distinction: The offeror is distinct from the "offeree" (the party to whom the offer is made). A binding agreement requires a valid offer from the offeror and a valid acceptance from the offeree.
