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 offer. Sounds 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 referred to as an offeree.

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;

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
