What Makes A Contract Valid?

Two or more parties can enter into a binding contract without any complex legal language or anything in writing. Contracts can be oral or written, and can be express or implied. The minimum requirements for a binding contract are straight forward and fairly simple, they include:

• An agreement (generally referred to as an offer & acceptance) between two or more people;
• Supported by consideration. Consideration refers to promising to do something that you are not obligated to do or refraining from doing something that you have a legal right to do. Consideration must be mutual. This generally requires each party to give up something as such, a promise to provide a gift does not qualify as a valid contract even if it is in writing;
• The parties entering into the agreement must intend to be bound and must have the mental capacity to understand that they are entering into a binding contract; and
• The purpose of the contract must be legal.
