    An offerer is the party who makes the offer, and the offeree is the party that receives the offer. An offer is known as a promise to be bound by certain specified terms and must be clear, which can be made to an individual party, or to the world at large. It must be differentiated from invitation to treat. When the offeree accepted the offer in total acceptance, an acceptance ensues. The acceptance must be communicated and therefore, a silence cannot represent acceptance.…

    See Cook v. Johnson, 37 Wn.2d 19, 221 P.2d 525 (1950). A one-sided contract is one in which a guarantee is given in return for a demonstration or avoidance. Here, Browning gave Johnson a guarantee to pay $40,000 in return for Johnson's demonstration of surrendering the agreement of offer. Adequacy of consideration in one-sided contracts is talked about by Professor Williston in his treatise, Contracts § 102 (3d ed. 1957). There he demonstrates that the prerequisite of adequate consideration to bolster a guarantee is met by a hindrance brought about by the promisee (Johnson) or an advantage got by the promisor (Browning) at the solicitation of the promisor. "That impairment endured by the promisee at the promisor's solicitation and as the cost for the guarantee is adequate, however the promisor is not profited, is very much settled." Williston, supra. This has been the law in Washington for more than 50 years. Harris v. Johnson, 75 Wash. 291, 294, 134 Pac. 1048 (1913). The inquiry then turns into the way of a burden. Impediment is characterized by Williston as the surrendering of "something which quickly earlier thereto the promisee was advantaged to hold, or doing or avoiding accomplishing something which he was then favored not to do, or not to cease from doing." Williston, supra, § 102A. We have as of now had event to quote this definition with endorsement. Luther v. National Bank of Commerce, *149 2 Wn.2d 470, 483, 98 P.2d 667 (1940). We…

    The word ‘proposal’ bears the same meaning as ‘offer’ in English law. Offer is an agreement between two or more parties is constituted by a proposal and an acceptance of it. An offer is made ‘when one person signifies to another his willingness to do or to abstain from doing anything, with a view to obtaining the assent of that other to such act or abstinence’. For instance, thus A, by offering to buy B’s car for $10,000 in the hope that B will accept, is making a proposal. According to section 2(b), ‘when the person to whom the proposal is made signifies his assent thereto, the proposal is said to be accepted ‘. Upon such acceptance by B, an agreement between the parties is created. The proposal has become a ‘promise’ and the party making the proposal (proposer or offeror) is now referred to as the ‘promisor’ and the party accepting the proposal, the ‘promisee’. Therefore, in the example given above, B’s acceptance of A’s proposal to buy the car establishes an agreement or promise. A is the promisor and B the promise.…
