acceptance of a bill of exchange. Process by which a buyer (called a 'drawee') accepts the seller's bill of exchange by signing under the words 'accepted' on face of the bill. By this act, the drawee becomes the acceptor and converts the bill into a post-dated check an unconditional obligation to pay it on or before its maturity date. (BusinessDictionary)

The holder of a bill of exchange is the person who is legally in the possession of it, either by endorsement or delivery, or both, and entitled to receive payment either from the drawee or acceptor, and is considered as an assignee. (A Law Dictionary)

Acceptance occurs when the party to whom the offer is made, knowingly communicates approval of the offer either expressly through words or implicitly trough overt action. Consideration is evidenced by the exchange of something of value between the offeror and acceptor, which neither was not already obligated to provide. (Taylor English Duma LLP)

An offer cannot be accepted unless the acceptor is aware of the existence of the offer and its terms. (StudentVIP)
