======================================================================= RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF CONTRACTS ARTICLE 50Acceptance of Offer Defined; Acceptance by Performance; Acceptance by Promise: (1) Acceptance of an offer is a manifestation of assent to the terms thereof made by the offeree in a manner invited or required by the offer. (2) Acceptance by performance requires that at least part of what the offer requests be performed or tendered and includes acceptance by a performance which operates as a return promise. (3) Acceptance by a promise requires that the offeree complete every act essential to the making of the promise.
======================================================================== "Downloading" constitutes "a manifestation of assent". Sincerely, Rjack
