Contract law words or conduct by which a person signifies his assent to the terms and conditions of an offer or agreement Acceptance (1) In civil law, an agreement to an offer by another party entailing legal consequences. According to the law of most states, acceptance is one of the stages in the conclusion of a contract and represents the unconditional expression of the will of a person to conclude a contract on the terms offered by the other party. An acceptance that contains additional terms is considered to be a new offer. An agreement is considered to be an acceptance if it is received by the party which made the offer within the time stipulated within the offer or within the time required for an immediate reply (see, for example, the Civil Code of the RSFSR, arts. 162–64). Acceptance may be expressed orally, in writing, or through the performance of acts which make it apparent that the party agrees to the conclusion of the contract (the so-called implied agreement). Among such acts are also acts that constitute the substance of the obligation of the debtor. For instance, instead of replying in regard to acceptance, the debtor may begin to deliver the commodity or to carry out work. In some cases, the law provides that acceptance may be expressed by silence. Thus, according to Soviet law, in concluding a contract for delivery between socialist enterprises, silence on the part of the purchaser lasting more than ten days is considered acceptance. A contract is considered concluded when acceptance is received in response to an offer. In bourgeois law there exist two systems, each treating the matter differently. The countries of continental Europe—such as France, the Federal Republic of Germany, and Italy—have the so-called receipt system; that is, the contract is considered concluded at the moment when the acceptance is received by the bidder. England, the USA, Japan, and a number of other countries employ the so-called dispatch system, or “mailbox theory,” according to which a contract is considered concluded the moment the acceptance has been mailed. The law of the socialist countries—such as the People’s Republic of Hungary, the German Democratic Republic, the People’s Republic of Poland, the USSR, and the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic—recognizes the acceptance of a draft contract as concluding an industrial contract. Moreover, in case the parties fail to reach an agreement on some of the terms of the contract, the offer of one party is considered to be accepted by the other if the latter agrees to the basic terms of the contract. Such is the case, for example, in the German Democratic Republic in regard to commodities, quality, and price (Law of Contract in Socialist Economy, Feb. 25, 1965, article 15, Gesetzblatt der DDR, 1965, issue 1, no.7), and in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic with respect to commodities and the time element (Economic Code of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, par. 153). In socialist law an offer of an economic contract usually entails obligatory acceptance if the offer is dictated by the plan or is based on instructions of a competent organ that are binding for both parties. In such cases nonagreement with the terms of the draft contract is not a reason for its rejection; it calls, rather, for a, precontract debate on the matter. The time limit for acceptance is usually fixed by law: in Hungary, 15 days; in theGDR, two to three weeks; in the Soviet Union, ten days; and in Czechoslovakia, one month. If acceptance does not take place within the time fixed by law, then the bidder has the right to take back his offer or to ask the court of arbitration to coerce conclusion of the contract. Refusal to honor acceptance is justified in cases where the conclusion of the contract infringes upon the interest of the national economy or where the supplier is unable to fulfill the contract (see the resolution of the Hungarian Revolutionary Workers’ and Peasants’ Government “Concerning Contracts for Supply,” par. 6). (2) One of the forms of clearing accounting between enterprises. E. G. POLONSKII final acceptanceThe owner’s acceptance of a project from the contractor upon certification by the architect that it is complete and in accordance with the contract requirements; final acceptance is confirmed by the making of final payment unless otherwise stipulated at the time of making such payment.acceptance
acceptance (ak-sep′tăns) 1. According to Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, the fifth and final stage of dying. Individuals who reach this stage (not all do) come to terms with impending death and await the end with quiet expectation. 2. In organ transplantation, the harmonious integration of grafted tissue into the body of the transplant recipient.3. Approval or acquiescence (e.g., of a recommended treatment or a functional impairment produced by an illness).Patient discussion about acceptanceQ. Mother in law not accepting the diagnosis. Our 3 years old son was diagnosed with autism some time ago, and although it’s not easy, our family and friends support and help us a lot, except my mother in-law (that lives close to us). She refuse to accept the fact that our son has autism, and keeps telling we are just hysteric and with little education our child will grow up just fine. What can we do? Were we wrong when we decided to tell everyone?A. I believe that it is a matter of time until your mother in-law realizes the full extent of your son's condition. Perhaps now she cannot accept it, and would rather think of him as a normal healthy child, and with time she will grow to understand his needs and capabilities. The most important thing for you to do is keep her involved in his life, so that she will give him all the love he can get from his grandmother, regardless of his autism. It seems to me you are a strong family with great people around you, that will help you with anything you need, so work on what is best for your son, and that is loving him. Don't spend too much time worrying about what others know or believe. Q. i am allergic to milk products , what are the accepted treatments for this kind of allergy? A. i too am allergic to milk,and i love milk,so i just cut down my intake of milk,try that,don"t drink as much. Q. are there are acceptable drugs by the health industry for depression which are not addictive but yet effective A. As toward other drugs, patients may develop addiction to the mood-improving actions of the medications, so potentially every medication that works has the potential to induce addiction (even medications to other non-psychiatric condition that cause good feeling may do that).
However, the current medications used to treat depression are not considered dangerous in this matter.

More discussions about acceptanceacceptance
Related to acceptance: self acceptance, Acceptance testingAcceptanceAn express act or implication by conduct that manifests assent to the terms of an offer in a manner invited or required by the offer so that a binding contract is formed. The exercise of power conferred by an offer by performance of some act. The act of a person to whom something is offered or tendered by another, whereby the offeree demonstrates through an act invited by the offer an intention of retaining the subject of the offer. In the law of contracts, acceptance is one person's compliance with the terms of an offer made by another. Acceptance occurs in the law of insurance when an insurer agrees to receive a person's application for insurance and to issue a policy protecting the person against certain risks, such as fire or theft. When a person who is offered a gift by someone keeps the gift, this indicates his or her acceptance of it. Acceptance also occurs when a bank pays a check written by a customer who has a checking account with that bank. In business dealings between merchants, which is governed by the law of sales, a buyer demonstrates his or her acceptance of goods that are not exactly what he or she had ordered from the seller by telling the seller that he or she will keep the goods even though they are not what was ordered; by failing to reject the goods; or by doing something to the goods inconsistent with the seller's ownership of them, such as selling the goods to consumers of the buyer's store. Types of Acceptance An acceptance may be conditional, express, or implied. Conditional Acceptance A conditional acceptance, sometimes called a qualified acceptance, occurs when a person to whom an offer has been made tells the offeror that he or she is willing to agree to the offer provided that some changes are made in its terms or that some condition or event occurs. This type of acceptance operates as a counteroffer. A counteroffer must be accepted by the original offeror before a contract can be established between the parties. Another type of conditional acceptance occurs when a drawee promises to pay a draft upon the fulfillment of a condition, such as a shipment of goods reaching its destination on the date specified in the contract. Express Acceptance An express acceptance occurs when a person clearly and explicitly agrees to an offer or agrees to pay a draft that is presented for payment. Implied Acceptance An implied acceptance is one that is not directly stated but is demonstrated by any acts indicating a person's assent to the proposed bargain. An implied acceptance occurs when a shopper selects an item in a supermarket and pays the cashier for it. The shopper's conduct indicates that he or she has agreed to the supermarket owner's offer to sell the item for the price stated on it. Further readings Calamari, John D., and Joseph M. Perillo. 1998. The Law of Contracts. 4th ed. St. Paul, Minn.: West Group. Chirelstein, Marvin A. 2001. Concepts and Case Analysis in the Law of Contracts. 4th ed. New York: Foundation. acceptancen. 1) receiving something from another with the intent to keep it, and showing that this was based on a previous agreement. 2) agreeing verbally or in writing to the terms of a contract, which is one of the requirements to show there was a contract (an offer and an acceptance of that offer). A written offer can be accepted only in writing. 3) receiving goods with the intention of paying for them if a sale has been agreed to. 4) agreement to pay a bill of exchange, which can be an "absolute acceptance" (to pay as the bill is written) or "conditional acceptance" (to pay only when some condition actually occurs such as the shipment or delivery of certain goods.) "Acceptance" is most often used in the factual determination of whether a contract was entered into. (See: contract, offer) acceptance 1 (of a BILL OF EXCHANGE) the acknowledgment by the person on whom the bill is drawn (the drawee) that he will accept the order of the person who drew it (the drawer). An acceptance must be written on the bill and be signed by the drawee. An acceptance is either general or qualified. In the case of a general acceptance, the assent is without qualification to the order of the drawer. A qualified acceptance in express terms varies the effect of the bill as drawn. 2 (of service) procedure in both England and Scotland by which a solicitor can legally take the proceedings served on his client, avoiding the cost involved in having it done otherwise. 3 (of a CONTRACT offer) an acceptance is an unqualified assent to the terms of an offer by the offeror (the original person making the offer). If qualifications are made, the so-called acceptance becomes a counter-offer that itself would have to be accepted by the original offer. Difficulties arise in many cases; see POSTAL ACCEPTANCE RULE, BATTLE OF THE FORMS. The general rule is that the acceptance must be communicated to the offeror. Conduct may imply acceptance. It is not possible to stipulate silence as a way of acceptance. 4 (of GOODS) in the law of sale, the buyer has not accepted goods until he has had his limited right to examine them. This negative formulation is important because, once accepted, there can be no rejection. Where goods are delivered to the buyer, and he has not previously examined them, he is not deemed to have accepted them until he has had a reasonable opportunity of examining them for the purpose of ascertaining whether they are in conformity with the contract. Such an opportunity must be granted on request. The Sale of Goods Act sets down various ways in which acceptance can take place or be deemed to take place. The buyer is deemed to have accepted the goods: - (i) when he intimates to the seller that he has accepted them so long as there has been a reasonable opportunity to examine the goods; or
- (ii) when the goods have been delivered to him and he does any act in relation to them that is inconsistent with the ownership of the seller (but not where the seller repairs or because of a subsale); or
- (iii) when, after the lapse of a reasonable time (which includes at least the time for a reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods), he retains the goods without intimating to the seller that he is rejecting them. As a result of reforms in 2002 a consumer cannot lose the right to reject by agreement waiver or otherwise.
ACCEPTANCE, contracts. An agreement to receive something which has beenoffered.
2. To complete the contract, the acceptance must be absolute and pastrecall, 10 Pick. 826; 1 Pick. 278; and communicated to the party making theoffer at the time and place appointed. 4. Wheat. R. 225; 6 Wend. 103.
3. In many cases acceptance of a thing waives the right which the partyreceiving before had; as, for example, the acceptance of rent after noticeto quit, in general waives. the notice. See Co. Litt. 211, b; Id. 215, a.;and Notice to quit.
4. The acceptance may be express, as when it is openly declared by theparty to be bound by it; or implied, as where the party acts as if he hadaccepted. The offer, and acceptance must be in some medium understood by,both parties; it may be language, symbolical, oral or written. For example,persons deaf and dumb may contract by symbolical or written language. Atauction sales, the contract, generally symbolical; a nod, a wink, or someother sign by one party, imports that he makes an offer, and knocking down ahammer by the other, that he agrees to it. 3 D. & E. 148. This subject isfurther considered under the articles Assent and Offer, (q v.)
5. Acceptance of a bill of exchange the act by which the drawee orother person evinces his assent or intention to comply with and be bound by,the request contained in a bill of exchange to pay the same; or in otherwords, it is an engagement to pay the bill when due. 4 East, 72. It will beproper to consider, 1, by whom the acceptance ought to be made; 2, the timewhen it is to be made; 3, the form of the acceptance; 4, its extent oreffect.
6.-1. The acceptance must be made by the drawee himself, or by oneauthorized by him. On the presentment of a bill, the holder has a right toinsist upon such an acceptance by the drawee as will subject him at allevents to the payment of the bill, according to its tenor; consequently suchdrawee must have capacity to contract, and to bind himself to pay the amountof the bill, or it, may be treated as dishonored. Marius, 22. See 2 Ad. &EH. N. S. 16, 17.
7.-2. As to the time when, a bill ought to be accepted, it may bebefore the bill is drawn; in this case it must be in writing; 3 Mass. 1; orit may be after it is drawn; when the bill is presented, the drawee mustaccept the bill within twenty-four hours after presentment, or it should betreated as dishonored. Chit. Bills, 212. 217. On the refusal to accept, evenwithin the twenty-four hours, it should be protested. Chit. Bills, 217. Theacceptance may be made after the bill is drawn, and before it becomes due orafter the time appointed for payment 1 H. Bl. 313; 2 Green, R. 339 ; andeven after refusal to accept so as to bind the acceptor.
8. The acceptance may also be made supra protest, which is theacceptance of the bill, after protest for non-acceptance by the drawee, forthe honor of the drawer, or a particular endorser. When a bill has beenaccepted supra protest for the honor of one party to the bill, it may beaccepted supra protest, by another individual, for the honor of another.Beawes, tit. Bills of Exchange, pl. 52; 5 Campb. R. 447.
9.-3. As to the form of the acceptance, it is clearly established itmay be in writing on the bill itself, or on another paper, 4 East, 91; or itmay be verbal, 4 East, 67; 10 John. 207; 3 Mass. 1; or it may be expressedor implied.
10. An express acceptance is an agreement in direct and express terms topay a bill of exchange, either by the party on whom it is drawn, or by someother person, for the honor of some of the parties. It is Usually in thewords accepted or accepts, but other express words showing an engagement topay the bill will be equally binding.
11. An implied acceptance is an agreement to pay a bill, not by directand express terms, but by any acts of the party from which an expressagreement may be fairly inferred. For example, if the drawee writes "seen,""presented," or any, other thing upon it, (as the day on which it becomesdue,) this, unless explained by other circumstances, will constitute anacceptance.
12.-4. An acceptance in regard to its extent and effect, may be eitherabsolute, conditional, or partial.
13. An absolute acceptance is a positive engagement to pay the billaccording to its tenor, and is usually made by writing on the bill"accepted," and subscribing the drawee's name; or by merely writing his nameeither at the bottom or across the bill. Comb. 401; Vin. Ab. Bills ofExchange, L 4; Bayl. 77; Chit. Bills, 226 to 228. But in order to bindanother than the drawee, it is requisite his name should appear. Bayl. 78.
14. A conditional acceptance is one which will subject the drawee oracceptor to the payment of the money on a contingency, Bayl. 83, 4, 5; Chit.Bills, 234; Holt's C. N. P. 182; 5 Taunt, 344; 1 Marsh. 186. The holder isnot bound to receive such an acceptance, but if he do receive it he mustobserve its terms. 4 M.& S. 466; 2 W. C. C. R. 485; 1 Campb. 425.
15. A partial acceptance varies from the tenor of the bill, as where itis made to pay part of the sum for which the bill is drawn, 1 Stra. 214; 2Wash. C. C. R. 485; or to pay at a different time, Molloy, b. 2, c. 10, s.20; or place, 4. M.& S. 462. acceptance
