As a general rule, a contract is formed upon a valid offer, acceptance, and


consideration. Generally, the formation of a contract requires a bargain in
which there is a manifestation of mutual assent to an exchange. An analysis of
contract formation is as follows: (1) was there a proper offer and acceptance of
the offer; (2) was there proper consideration or an appropriate substitute for
consideration; and (3) are there any applicable defenses to the formation of
the contract. Offer, acceptance, and consideration are discussed in this
section.
