While contracts are generally binding for both parties, it is important to be aware of certain issues that could make an otherwise valid contract unenforceable by law. The elements of a contract are offer, acceptance, and consideration, which have strict standards of enforceability.
Cons of a promissory note Limited legal recourse: While a promissory note is a legal document, enforcing repayment can be challenging if the borrower defaults. Interest costs: If the promissory note includes interest terms, the borrower will incur additional costs.
A signed agreement is a legally binding document in which two or more parties have agreed to specific terms, conditions, or obligations and have formally indicated their consent by signing the document. These agreements, also called contracts, outline the rights and responsibilities of each party involved.
