Fahim rang HMC on Wednesday about hiring a ‘dates-sorter’. HMC offered him a DS1 sorter model for two weeks from the following Monday. Fahim wanted to consider it. HMC told him that if they did not hear from him within two days, they would assume that he wanted to hire it. Fahim never got back to them. Humaid also rang HMC and received an offer to hire a date-sorter. He also decided to consider the offer. HMC told him to decide quickly, as it was the busy summer period. Three weeks later, Humaid decided that he did need date sorter, and sent an email stating that he accepted HMC’s offer.

Q: Justify the legal effect of the negotiation that happened between Fahim, Humaid, and HMC about hiring the Dates Sorter. Explain whether Fahim is bound to pay for the hiring of the Dates-Sorter.
