A firm offer is made when a seller promises to sell goods at a stated price within a stated period of time. The promise may be

expressed (i.e. clearly stated in words), as when it takes the form of a letter or it may be implied (i.e. understood), as when

it takes the form of a quotation that contains the words

The firm offer creates a power of acceptance permitting the offeree by accepting the offer, to transform the offeror's promise

into a contractual obligation. Thus, once it has been accepted it cannot be withdrawn.

3) A satisfactory offer will include the following:

a) an expression of thanks for the enquiry, if any

b) names of commodities , quality , quantity and specifications

c) details of prices , discounts and terms of payment

d) a statement or clear indication of what the prices cover (e.g. packing , freight and insurance)
