A contract is perfected by mere consent.[16] In turn, consent is manifested by the meeting of the offer and the acceptance upon the thing and the cause which are to constitute the contract.[17] The offer must be certain and the acceptance seasonable and absolute.[18] If qualified, the acceptance would merely constitute a counter-offer[19] as what occurred in this case. | |||||

It is elementary that, being consensual,[33] a contract[34] is perfected[35] by mere consent.[36] From the moment of a meeting[37] of the offer and the acceptance[38] upon the object and the cause that would constitute the contract,[39] consent arises.[40] However, "the offer must be certain"[41] and "the acceptance seasonable and absolute;[42] if qualified,[43] the acceptance[44] would merely constitute a counter-offer."[45] |
