(1) In this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires, “contract” and “agreement” are limited to those relating to the present or future sale of goods. “Contract for sale” includes both a present sale of goods and a contract to sell goods at a future time.
Oregon contract law requires offer, acceptance, and consideration to form a contract. Contracts are legally binding and negotiated for trade/exchange. In such a deal, a guarantor needs something from a guarantee in return for a promise.
For a contract to be binding it needs to satisfy four principles, offer, acceptance, consideration, and the intention to create legal relations. Generally, the law believes that an agreement is made when one party makes an offer and the other party accepts it.
