In short and simple terms, an offer is a formal proposal to proceed to the conclusion of a contract. It can be drawn up in different ways. Let's look at some examples:
The company publishes an offer to sell software on its website. The text on the peru phone number list page states: "A license to use the program costs 10,000 rubles. To purchase, transfer money to the specified account." This is an offer.
You go to the website of an online store and see an ad there: “The book “War and Peace” for 500 rubles, you can pay via bank transfer.” This is also an offer.
The bank offers a corporate loan over the phone. The manager says: "We can offer your company a loan of up to 50 million rubles at 8% per annum." This proposal is also considered an offer.
The word "offer" comes from the Latin "offero," which means "I propose." This is exactly what happens: one party makes an offer, and the other party can accept that offer, and then a contract is formed between them.
