In law, there is a principle about contracts versus promises, which is that the law does not regard bare promises, only bargains, as contracts.

1) n. a firm agreement to perform an act, refrain from acting or make a payment or delivery. In contract law, if the parties exchange promises, each promise is "consideration" (a valuable item) for the other promise.
Promise- Section 2(b) of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 defines a promise as: 'when the person to whom the proposal is made signifies his assent thereto, the proposal becomes an accepted proposal. A proposal when accepted, becomes a promise'.

And even though contracts are infinitely varied in length, terms, and complexity, all contracts must contain these six essential elements. Offer. Acceptance. Awareness. Consideration. Capacity. Legality.
In order for a promise to be binding, there must be an acceptance of that promise/offer, and consideration exchanged. When these elements are combined, a contract is created, and a contract is a binding agreement which compels parties to fulfill their promises or face legal repercussions.
