An indication of willingness to do or refrain from doing something that is capable of being converted by acceptance into a legally binding contract. It is made by an offeror to an offeree and is capable of acceptance only by an offeree who knows of its existence. Thus, a person giving information cannot claim a reward if he did not know that a reward was being offered.(A Concise Dictionary of Law, 1986, p. 251)  2, record 1, English, - offer

A contract is an agreement between two or more persons intended to create a legal obligation between them and to be legally enforceable. The law of contract is accordingly the body of principles relative to those kinds of agreements which are intended to, and do, create binding and enforceable bilateral obligations, conferring rights in personam on each party and which are therefore legally contracts.  3, record 2, English, - contract%20law

In English law, a promise is not, as a general rule, binding as a contract unless it is either made under seal or supported by some "consideration". The purpose of the doctrine of consideration is to put some legal limit on the enforceability of agreements even where they are intended to be legally binding and are not vitiated by some factor such as mistake, misrepresentation, duress or illegality.... The present position therefore is that English law limits the enforceability of agreements not under seal by reference to a complex and multifarious body of rules known as "the doctrine of consideration.
