Step - 1

When one looks at this case, it can be seen that there are many things that are needed to be looked at. The offer that was being made by Julia was substantially low of the price that was written originally on the product. So this is one thing that is needed to be considered, on the other hand, Steven also had accepted the offer within the given course of time so he must be legally entitled for the product.

If any of these conditions are not being fulfilled, the contract is not binding in its nature. Looking at this particular case, it can be seen that Julia has made the offer. There is certain time period for the offer as well and if the offer is accepted within the given time, then contract must be initiated.

There is no way it can be said that the offer has not been made. The offer is needed to be made by the end of the customer and it can be said that Steven has made the offer to Julia about purchasing the ...
