2949 Inc. v. McCorkle

Terry and Taletha McCorkle (defendants) agreed to lease a sign from 2949 Inc. (plaintiff) on a form stating the offer was firm and irrevocable for 60 days. The McCorkles did not separately sign the irrevocability clause. When they canceled, 2949 Inc. sued for breach, arguing the irrevocability clause created an enforceable option contract.

Whether irrevocable firm offers and option contracts generally require separate consideration to be enforceable.
