Today, no business is done without a contract. Contracts today exist in oral, as well as written form and they deal with purchase, sale, delivery, provision of goods or services in order to protect both business partners. Contracts are breached, however, and many of them contain provisions for penalties.
Before entering any contract, it is therefore highly recommended that the entire contract be read carefully. Clauses should be cautiously reviewed before signing, as failure to do so does not serve as a defense when enforced in a Court of law.
The ability of individuals, partnerships, corporations and other types of entities to enter into binding and legally enforceable contractual obligations is truly one of the cornerstones of a civilized society. Contract law has evolved into an immensely complex and intricate component of our modern legal system. Although many types of contracts can be handled in the routine course of business, as contracts increase in size, scope, value or complexity, the need for competent legal advice also increases in a concomitant fashion.
What is a contract?
• Voluntary agreement/promise
• A contract must involve at least two parties
• There is a requirement of competence of parties
• The contract serves as a legal safeguard
• There must be a consideration (an inducement, price or motive)
Contracts can be written or oral, but we all know that written contracts are much easier to analyze and/or prove a violation. The involved parties demonstrate their agreement by either their acts, such as following the contract or their conduct.
Elements of a contract
• A competent party
• Offer
• Acceptance
• Consideration
• Legal object
• Consent
It is set that a contract can be defined as a promise or set of promises for which the law gives a remedy, or the performance of which the law, in some way, recognizes as a duty. Therefore by establishing a mutual agreement, the parties to a contract create enforceable duties or obligations that are legally binding. It is a known fact that is preferable to establish written contractual relationships, however please note that, written contractual instruments that are ambiguous or poorly drafted can create more problems than they solve. Written contracts should always be drafted in a clear, concise and understandable fashion and that is essential. WE are experts in this arena and will ensure your contracts are as needed.
The rights, duties, responsibilities and obligations of all of the parties to a contract must be clearly delineated or enumerated. Ideally, a reasonably intelligent and objective third party should be able to independently review a contract and generally comprehend its terms, conditions, and provisions.
