Legal Definition
Acceptance is a manifestation of assent to the terms of an offer.
Plain English Explanation
"Acceptance" is the result of a person doing something that demonstrates they willfully wish to be bound to the terms of the offer. Acceptance can be as explicit as, "Yes, I accept your offer and terms," or as implicit as a thumbs-up. You will always want to look for some way that the offeror may be able to reasonably believe that the offeree has agreed to the offer, as you'll usually have to argue that someone's acceptance wasn't clear enough or, alternatively, someone's mistaken acceptance still counts as acceptance because it would be unfair not to.
