I’ve seen instances where a promise/stipulation to keep an offer/contract open are valid and other instances where it’s not honored. I’m confused. Anyone know when an offer must be kept open and when it’s okay to end the offer/contract BEFORE the stipulated time period?

I am going to assume you mean a business offer in business law? There are usually specific terms in each offer, but most of the terms goes around…

1. Lapse of time – either end time passed, or not responded within 48 hours of time
2. Counteroffered – which usually immediately void the pervious offer and begin a whole new cycle
3. Revocation / change of mind – usually come with a penalty
4. Unable to fulfill certain requirements – like an inspection, or item was no longer available
5. Emergencies – No longer able to perform
6. Item value or condition significantly changed
7. Rejection – no deal was reached. No obligation. Both parties free to leave
