A contract can be accepted by performance. The DPW, by following the agreement suggested in the Merchant Assoc.'s memo, have accepted their offer to operate the flagpole. For example, if you select an apartment and the landlord gives you a rental agreement, you never sign it, but you move in, you are still bound by the terms of the rental agreement because you accepted through the action of moving in.<br /><br />We accept contracts by action all the time. You pull into a parking garage and it has a contract limiting its liability on the ticket. If still park in the garage, you've accepted that contract.<br /><br />Thus, a written response is not the only way to accept and the actions of the DPW indicate they accepted the Merchant Assoc. control. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words.Stephen R. Stapleton, Sacramento, CAnoreply@blogger.com
