   • Offer. An offer is the tentative promise that begins contractual negotiations. It is when one party to a contract initiates and indicates a desire to enter into a relationship with another party.
   • Acceptance. When an offer is made, acceptance of the offer generally requires positive conduct meaning that the acceptance is deemed only to have occurred when the accepting party acts in some way or form that confirms acceptance.
   • Consideration. Consideration as an element to a legally binding contract is without the same meaning as the word consideration in common language. While giving careful thought, being the common language meaning of the word consideration, is prudent in contractual negotiations, the word consideration as it applies to contract law means the existence of a value for value exchange between the parties to a contract.
   • Intention, ad idem (meeting of the minds) The element of intention involves a genuine desire to establish legal relations. Where a reasonable bystander listening to negotiations would fail to perceive sincerity among one or more of the parties, formation of a contract has failed; and accordingly, the element of intention requires an objective rather than subjective review as was confirmed in, among others, the case of West End Tree Service Inc.
