Lesson Summary. A contract is a legal agreement between two or more parties in which they agree to each other's rights and responsibilities. Offer, acceptance, awareness, consideration, and capacity are the five elements of an enforceable contract.

For a contract to be valid and recognized by the common law, it must include certain elements-- offer, acceptance, consideration, intention to create legal relations, authority and capacity, and certainty. Without these elements, a contract is not legally binding and may not be enforced by the courts.

When two parties agree to “mutual obligations enforceable by law,” they often put details of their agreement in a written contract. Then, all parties to the contract are expected to abide by the contract's provisions. Breach of contract occurs when one or more parties fail to do so.

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.

There are four essential elements of forming a contract: offer, acceptance, consideration, and intention to create legal relations. Beyond this, the terms of the contract must also be unambiguous, and the parties must have the mental capacity to agree.

Both parties must clearly understand and agree to the terms outlined in the contract. Additionally, consideration, or something of value exchanged between the parties, must be present to support the contract's validity. Moreover, legality and the capacity of the parties involved are essential components to consider.
