Conclusion
In order to validly form a contract under the CISG, there has to be
two declarations of intent - acceptance and offer. This traditional
approach is parallel to Swiss and Turkish laws of obligations. The
offeror should have a definite proposal and the intention to be bound
by that proposal. The offeree, on the other hand, can accept the offer
by a statement, or through its conduct. Both Articles 8 and 9 play an
important role while interpreting an offer and acceptance. It should be
emphasized that when formation is interpreted, the CISG should be
considered as a whole.
