Is there a legal / commercial term for a free offer that can&#39;t be demanded or expected
<p>What is the name for a service offer that is limited in availability due to resources or which could be withdrawn if it is being abused or unreasonably expected?</p>

<p>Is there a standard legal or commercial term that covers this situation?</p>

<p>Something like:</p>

<ul>
<li>limited availability,</li>
<li>pending resource availability...</li>
<li>no obligation (generally refers to the recipient)</li>
</ul>

<h2>An <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invitation_to_treat" rel="nofollow noreferrer">invitation to treat</a></h2>

<p>If you make an offer then, if the person(s) you made the offer to accept it (as it is - any changes make it not an acceptance but a counter-offer) then you have a legally binding <a href="https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/6263/what-is-a-contract-and-what-is-required-for-them-to-be-valid">contract</a>. Once you have a contract, your options for terminating it are limited and, absent a breach by the other party, generally only in accordance with the terms of that contract.</p>

<p>Conversely, an invitation to treat is not an offer - it is a statement that you are willing to enter negotiations.</p>

<p>It is called as an 'Invitation of Offer'.
It is a call for your customers to offer you giving them a discount on a prescribed minimum sale. It is upto you whether to accept or reject that offer each time.</p>
