any clear statements indicating offer or
acceptance.

Cooling-Off Periods
The laws of most states allow a buyer of consumer
goods to cancel the contract within 72 hours
after signing it without stating a reason. These
laws are designed to protect consumers from
high-pressure sales tactics. In effect, a
consumer contract in those states is not formed
until 72 hours after it is signed by the buyer.
These laws typically do not apply to contracts
between merchants.

Void Contracts
A contract is considered void if no true
agreement ever occurred or if enforcing the
contract would be contrary to public policy.

Voidable Contracts
Voidable contracts are contracts that may be
canceled by one party at any time. Although a
contract is formed, it binds only one party.

Contract Parties
the parties to a business contract are not
individuals but limited liability entities such
as corporations and LLCs.
