# Contracts Page

> Offer lifecycle, acceptance, fulfillment, and settlement behavior.

Contracts are system-generated purchase offers you can accept and deliver against.

## Tabs

* Available: open offers you can accept.
* My Contracts: accepted/active contracts for your company.
* History: fulfilled, expired, or canceled outcomes.

## Offer Lifecycle

Contracts move through statuses:

* Open -> Accepted -> Partially Fulfilled -> Fulfilled
* Or Open/Accepted/Partially Fulfilled -> Expired

Generation and expiry are tied to weekly simulation processing.

## Accept Behavior

When you accept:

* Contract is assigned to your selected seller company.
* It leaves Available and appears in My Contracts.
* Acceptance fails if another actor changed the contract first.

## Fulfillment Behavior

For each fulfillment action:

* Quantity must be positive and less than or equal to remaining amount.
* Your company must have enough available item stock.
* Contract buyer must still have enough cash.

Settlement:

* Goods move from your inventory to buyer inventory.
* Cash transfers buyer -> seller.
* Remaining quantity updates; status becomes partial or fulfilled.

## Player Tips

* Expiry countdown matters: an accepted contract can still expire if unfinished.
* Partial fulfillment can reduce risk when your stock is uncertain.
