implied acceptance
Read a random definition: ex mora debitoris
A quick definition of implied acceptance:
Implied acceptance is when someone shows they agree to something without saying it directly. For example, if someone asks you if you want a cookie and you take one without saying "yes," that's implied acceptance. It's like saying "yes" without actually saying it. This can happen in contracts too, where someone shows they agree to the terms of an offer through their actions instead of saying "yes" out loud.A more thorough explanation:
Implied acceptance is when a person's actions indicate that they agree to the terms of an offer, even if they don't explicitly say so. This creates a binding contract between the parties involved.
For example, if someone orders a product online and the seller ships the product, that can be considered an implied acceptance of the offer to buy the product. The seller's actions indicate that they agree to the terms of the sale, even if they don't explicitly say so.
Another example is when someone receives a job offer and starts showing up to work. Their actions indicate that they accept the offer, even if they don't explicitly say so.
