A Mutual Assent Principle Standard is a contractual consent standard requiring clear agreement between parties on terms, typically achieved through offer and acceptance, ensuring mutual understanding and enforceability.
- Context:
- It can establish enforceability through a documented offer and acceptance process.
- It can prevent misunderstandings by ensuring both parties clearly understand the terms.
- Example(s):
- a Signed Contract, which legally confirms both parties' consent.
- a Purchase Agreement, where the buyer's acceptance of the seller’s terms constitutes mutual assent.
- Counter-Example(s):
- Unilateral Contracts, where one party’s promise is conditional on the other party's performance.
- Implied Agreements, which do not have clear, documented mutual consent.
