An offer is a a clear indication of the offeror's willingness to enter into an agreement with the offeree, conditional on the offeree's acceptance. If accepted, it becomes a legal, binding contract.
Though an Offer to Treat can appear to be an Offer, they are not Offers themselves. They invite another party to make an offer. Unlike Offers, acceptance of an Offer to Treat is actually making an offer and it does not create a binding contract.
