1.What is a contract.?

2.Have you ever entered into a contract?

3.Decide on items that you think should be included in a contract. Don`t worry about the exact terminology yet.

Contract is a legally enforceable agreement between two (or more) parties.

How Is a Contract Formed

Before a contract can be formed, there must be both an offer and an acceptance of that other. Sound simple? It`s not; lawyers everywhere have earned millions of dollars in fees arguing just whether or not a valid contract existed.

In common law, contracts are formed in the following manner.

1.an offer in made by a person or corporation normally referred to as an offeror;

2.the offer is then accepted (acceptance) by a person or corporation normally reffered to as an offered.

Let`s reduce what we`ve learned about contracts to a formula:

Offer + acceptance = bona fide (valid) contract

If the parties are (a) competent, (b) mutually agree and obligate themselves regarding a specific subject, and (c) there is legal consideration

The contract is binding (legally enforceable) if only there are these four elements:

1.competent parties;

2.legal subject matter;

72

3.legal consideration;

4.mutuality of agreement; and

5.mutuality of obligation.

The absence of any of these elements may render (make) a contract unenforced
