The Plaintiff and the Defendant had been friends for many years before this incident. They are both musicians and both have helped each other out when it came to their careers. When the Plaintiff stated that if someone needed help on a track then he would ask the Defendant to come and join in. The same instance goes for the Defendant; if he needed help with a track or anything he would go to his then friend the Plaintiff. When the Plaintiff asked for help from the Defendant with the whole album, the Plaintiff left the defendant a voicemail stating the dates available and the very high discounted rate of seven hundred dollars. Although, the Plaintiff made an offer it was never validated by a definite commitment with terms made to the Defendant. Since the Defendant states he had no recollection of the seven hundred dollar fee, he never accepted the terms or the conditions. In order for they're to be any kind of agreement there has to be a meeting of minds. Furthermore, there was never anything else that could have substituted any kind of contractual agreement. In conclusion, there may have been an offer presented by one party but there was never any valid contract. The Defendant is not liable for the seven hundred dollars.
