Which of the following are contracts? It doesn't need to be a specific contract. Just to identify if this is or can be a contract of any kind. If not, please explain which element(s) is defective.
A. Persons Magazine sends you a magazine you didn't order. They do so again the next month and the month after. You never send the magazines back or call or write Persons to let them know you do not want the magazines. The magazine then sends you a bill for the magazines, saying that you have a contract. Is Persons right?
