Forming a contract: offer, acceptance and the machine
By the end of this lecture you can:
- tell an offer from an invitation to treat, and say when an acceptance takes effect;
- apply the rules to online and automated contracting, and say what is settled and what is open;
- test an AI’s legal analysis by demanding sources and checking each rule.
Use the arrow keys to move through the board. Everything on it is clickable.

The board follows the written lecture step by step. Teaching material, not legal advice: check every authority yourself before you teach it.
