What is the name for a service offer that is limited in availability due to resources or which could be withdrawn if it is being abused or unreasonably expected?

Is there a standard legal or commercial term that covers this situation?

Something like:

  • limited availability,
  • pending resource availability...
  • no obligation (generally refers to the recipient)

An invitation to treat

If you make an offer then, if the person(s) you made the offer to accept it (as it is - any changes make it not an acceptance but a counter-offer) then you have a legally binding contract. Once you have a contract, your options for terminating it are limited and, absent a breach by the other party, generally only in accordance with the terms of that contract.

Conversely, an invitation to treat is not an offer - it is a statement that you are willing to enter negotiations.

It is called as an 'Invitation of Offer'. It is a call for your customers to offer you giving them a discount on a prescribed minimum sale. It is upto you whether to accept or reject that offer each time.
