Acceptance by Performance Clause Samples

The Acceptance by Performance clause defines that a party can accept the terms of a contract not only by signing or expressly agreeing, but also by beginning or completing the required actions specified in the agreement. For example, if a supplier starts delivering goods or a contractor commences work as outlined in the contract, this conduct is treated as acceptance of the contractual terms. This clause ensures that contracts can become binding through actions, providing flexibility and preventing disputes where formal acceptance may be delayed or omitted.

Acceptance by Performance. In forming a unilateral contract, the offeror is seeking an act, and not a promise to perform. Therefore, if the offer seeks acceptance by performance and not a return promise, then a contract can be formed only by performing the requested performance. The offer is not accepted until performance is completed; moreover, there is no contract and legal liability does not attach until the offeree has fully performed.28 For example, suppose Carly says to Ashley, “I must have lost my watch. I will give you $100 if you find it.” Carly does not want Ashley to promise to find her watch. Carly wants her watch. Ashley can accept this offer only by finding the watch and returning it to Carly. Carly is then required to pay Ashley the $100. The offeree need not give notice of an intent to perform, but must render the performance for an effective acceptance.29 However, if the offeree who accepts by performance has reason to know that the offeror will not learn of the acceptance within a reasonable time, then the offeree has a duty to exercise reasonable diligence to notify the offeror of acceptance.30 Generally, an acceptance takes effect when it is communicated to the offeror and it is not difficult to determine when this has occurred if the parties are in each other’s presence or otherwise in instantaneous communication by phone or electronic means. However, when parties are not in instantaneous communication, i.e., corresponding by mail, there is a delay between the sending and receipt of acceptance. Often, it is critical to determine which of these two times constitutes the legally effective acceptance: is it the time of dispatch or that of receipt?

  • Excuse for Nonperformance or Delayed Performance Except with respect to defaults of subcontractors, Contractor/Vendor shall not be in default by reason of any failure in performance of this contract in accordance with its terms (including any failure by Contractor/Vendor to make progress in the prosecution of the work hereunder which endangers such performance) if Contractor/Vendor has notified the Commission or designee within 15 days after the cause of the delay and the failure arises out of causes such as: acts of God; acts of the public enemy; acts of the State and any other governmental entity in its sovereign or contractual capacity; fires; floods; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; strikes or other labor disputes; freight embargoes; or unusually severe weather.

Upon request of Contractor, the Commission or designee shall ascertain the facts and extent of such failure, and, if such officer determines that any failure to perform was occasioned by any one or more of the excusable causes, and that, but for the excusable cause, Contractor’s progress and performance would have met the terms of the contract, the delivery schedule shall be revised accordingly, subject to the rights of the State under the clause entitled (in fixed-price contracts, “Termination for Convenience,” in cost-reimbursement contracts, “Termination”).
