FAQ
A contract is an agreement between parties, creating mutual obligations that are enforceable by law. The basic elements required for the agreement to be a legally enforceable contract are: mutual assent, expressed by a valid offer and acceptance; adequate consideration; capacity; and legality.
A contract is defined as an enforceable agreement between two parties. An employment contract is an enforceable agreement between two parties that contains whatever terms and conditions of employment the parties agree upon and, when accepted, becomes controlling upon the employment relationship.
Employment contracts are generally not enforceable prior to beginning work. This means you cannot be forced to actually work for an employer if you change your mind, even if you signed a contract. However, quitting at the last minute could be considered a breach of contract.
Yes. Contract laws apply to the employee-employer (agent/principal) relationship and both parties can sue each other if the other has breached a material provision of the contract.
A contract is not enforceable until an offer is made and the other party accepts the offer. An offer does not technically exist until the requesting party or the offeree has received it. Even after it's been received, the offer can still be changed or terminated any time before acceptance.
For a contract to be legally binding, it must have 4 essential elements: An offer. Acceptance of material terms of the offer. Consideration by both parties. Mutual assent (called a “meeting of the minds”)
In Florida, a contract is established through a simple but vital process: offer, acceptance, and exchange of value (consideration). This means that a contract comes into existence when one party presents a clear offer, and the other party accepts it, coupled with an exchange of something of value.
A contract is legally binding. It is formed when there is an offer, an acceptance, and, importantly, consideration by both parties. Without consideration, there is no enforceable contract in Florida.
