dellofferente

Dell'offerente is an Italian legal term referring to the party who makes an offer to enter into a contract, i.e., the offeror. In contract law, the offeror proposes terms to another party (the offeree) and signals a willingness to be bound by those terms if they are accepted.

An offer typically sets out essential terms such as the object of the contract, price or consideration, scope, and a deadline for acceptance. Offers can be made in writing, orally, or by conduct, and they may be revocable or irrevocable depending on the circumstances. A fixed-term or option agreement can bind the offeror to keep the terms open for a specified period.

Revocation: The offeror may withdraw the offer before the offeree accepts, unless the offer has been made irrevocable by law, by express stipulation, or by an option contract. Effective revocation generally requires communication to the offeree.

Acceptance and contract formation: A contract is formed when the offeree unconditionally accepts the offer, in the manner required by the offer. If the offeree’s response deviates from the terms of the offer, it is typically a counter-offer and terminates the original offer. Only upon mutual consent do the parties become bound.

Obligations and limits: The offeror must have the legal capacity to contract and must act in good faith. The content of the offer must be lawful and non-misleading; the offeror is responsible for ensuring that the terms are clear and enforceable.

Usage: The concept of dell'offerente is common in civil-law systems and is often contrasted with the offeree or the recipient of the offer. While the core idea is widely applicable, specific rules governing offers and revocation vary by jurisdiction.
