OFFER, contracts. A proposition to do a thing. 
     2. An offer ought to contain a right, if accepted, of compelling the 
fulfillment of the contract, and this right when not expressed, is always 
implied. 
     3. By virtue of his natural liberty, a man may change his will at any 
time, if it is not to the injury of another; he may, therefore, revoke or 
recall his offers, at any time before they have been accepted; and, in order 
to deprive him of this right, the offer must have been accepted on the terms 
in which it was made. 10 Ves. 438; 2 C. & P. 553. 
     4. Any qualification of, or departure from those terms, invalidates the 
offer, unless the same be agreed to by the party who made it. 4 Wheat. R.

enter into the contract for the time limited, and, if the time be not fixed 
by the offer, then until it be expressly revoked, or rendered nugatory by a 
contrary presumption. 6 Wend. 103. See 8 S. & R. 243; 1 Pick. 278; 10 Pick.
