A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that is enforceable by law.
Explanation:
A contract consists of two major elements:
1. Agreement
2. Enforceability by law
- Elements of a valid contract
1. Offer and acceptance
In order to create a valid contract, there must be a lawful offer and acceptance among parties.
2. Creating legal relations
The contract must be created with the view of creating legal relations. In case of failure of promise, one would be answerable in law.
3. Lawful consideration
For an agreement to be as valid as a contract, the agreement must be supported by consideration. Gratuitous promises are not considerable.
4. Capacity of parties to contract
The parties must be capable of entering the contract, that is, the person must have a sound mind and be a major.
5. Free consent
For a contract, it is necessary that there must be free and genuine consent of parties.
