Contracts
In North Dakota, 'mutual assent' (meeting of the minds) in a contract requires:
ABoth parties to agree to every term at the same time in person
BA valid offer and a mirror-image acceptance without modification✓ Correct
COnly one party to sign the contract
DVerbal confirmation followed by written documentation within 30 days
Explanation
Mutual assent requires a valid offer (definite terms) and an unconditional acceptance that matches the exact terms of the offer (mirror-image rule). Any modification to the terms creates a counteroffer, not an acceptance, breaking the mutual assent until agreement is reached.
