An option contract confers the right, but not the obligation to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific underlying instrument or asset at a specific price, the strike or exercise price - up until or on a specific future date - the expiry date. The price to have this right is paid by the buyer of the option contract to the seller as a premium.
