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.
To be enforceable, the contract must be entered into voluntarily, have clearly agreed upon terms and conditions and demonstrate the exchange of “consideration”. Clearly agreed upon terms refers to the idea that everyone understands the nature of the deal being made.
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. In some states, elements of consideration can be satisfied by a valid substitute.
To that end, several key elements constitute contract formation; contract law is shaped by considerations of public policy, and parties involved, such as the offeror, must be aware of these legal principles. Those elements are offer, consideration, acceptance, and mutuality.
For a contract to be legally binding, and therefore enforceable, it needs to satisfy four principles: offer, acceptance, consideration and the intention to create legal relations.
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.
Offer: A clear proposal to make a deal. Acceptance: A definite agreement to the terms of the offer. Consideration: Something of value exchanged between the parties. Intention to Create Legal Relations: A mutual intention to form a legally binding agreement.
