In case ifoffer is made by one party to other than the valid contract cannot be formed. As percontract act 1950, the first element in a contract is offer. It is an important element formaking a contract valid and there should be at least two parties or more for making anylegal contract (Anson, Beatson and Cartwright 2010). Further, if offer is accepted byother party with all terms and condition then it becomes a valid contract. For example, inpresent case Freedy advertised on its websites for the sale of high definition TV for £145.It is an original offer which is made by Lyala which was cancelled because it was notaccepted by any other party. On the other hand, Lyala responded to the advertisement andmade counter offer for buying high definition TV at £125. Acceptance: After making an offer by one party there should be acceptance from otherparty. At the time when one party makes offer with clear terms and condition then makeacceptance once it clear with the rules and regulation being offer in the contract (Olanderand Norrman, 2012.). Apart from this, there cannot be any valid offer made if the partiesnegotiate or discuss on above made offer. The offer can be valid if it is accepted by otherparty on given terms and conditions (Liu, Cheng and Xie, 2012.). For instance, in givenscenario counter offer is made by Layala for buying a TV at £125 through email and itwas accepted by other Freddy. This reflect that, original offer was not created in place ofit counter offer made which is accepted with terms and condition by Freedy.

This means person who make offer and otherperson who accepts the contract must be above the age of 18 and should be mentally fit(Connolly and Hoar, 2014). For example, in the given case both parties are above the ageof 18 and have the legal capacity to enter into a contract.Privity of contract: In a privity of contract, the relation between the parties in a contractwhich have right to sue each other in court but forbid third party from sue (Connolly andHoar, 2014).
