ADHESION CONTRACTS (Form Contracts): Problems with: Lack of assent by consumer (objective
manifestation of assent), Deceptiveness of some producers, Perceived inequalities of bargaining power,
Share of the surplus, Non-negotiable
REVOCATION OF OFFERS: Four means by which an offeree’s power of acceptance may be terminated:
Rejection/counteroffer, Lapse of time, Revocation by offeror, Death or incapacity of offeror or offeree,
FIFTH WAY? Expiration of the offer by its own terms; Common Law, general Rule: An offer created a
power of acceptance in the offeree (and a correlative liability to contract in the offeror if the offeree
exercises that power), An offeror retains a power of revocation (and a correlative liability to lose any
chance to contract in the offeree if the offeror exercises the power of revocation), An offeree may
exercise her power of acceptance at any time before revocation, An offeror may revoke at any time
before acceptance, Words or conduct that are inconsistent with a continuing interest in forming a
contract on the terms of the offer manifest an objective intent to NOT enter a contract on the terms of
the offer.
