Accepting payment is usually understood to indicate acceptance of the terms of a contract. A contract generally requires: offer, acceptance, a clear intention to interact (create a legal relationship), and consideration (money or goods/services). One very interesting example of the significance of accepting payment is the lease for the Guantanamo Bay naval facility.[1]
