This is not an offer because it was rejected) Counter-offer(a rejection to a offer and also a new offer) Revoked(i can revoke my offer anytime before they accept it) Expire(can not accept an offer after it expire) the period before it expire are reasonable, can be different. One of the party dies or become incompetent(the death of the party will not terminate the contract) I say i will make my offer open however i change my mind, this is not a contract because there is lack of consideration.
