Definition from Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary
An agreement to pay in exchange for performance, if the potential performer chooses to act. An example would be if you promise to pay someone $1,000 if they bring your car from Cleveland to San Francisco. Bringing the car is acceptance (and performance) of the agreement. Compare: bilateral contract
