FAQ
A contingent contract is a legal agreement in which the terms and conditions only apply or take effect if a specific event occurs. Essentially, the parties involved agree to perform actions or obligations based on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a particular event in the future.
A contingent contract will be deemed valid only if an event occurs or does not occur and it is collateral to the contract. The meaning of a contingent contract is that the conditions collateral to the contract must be certain to happen in the future.
Contingent contracts, like contingencies themselves, cannot occur unless a certain condition is met. For instance, the sale of a home cannot take place without a prior home inspection, and an aircraft cannot leave the hangar without a thorough walk-around inspection by the pilot.
The agreement states that if a certain event occurs, then one or both parties will take specific actions. Contingency agreements are often used to protect against financial loss or legal liability. However, not all contingency agreements are enforceable in court.
To draft a contract from scratch, start by identifying the parties involved and clearly outlining the agreement. Include consideration (what is exchanged), define the terms and conditions, ensure all parties are legally competent, and finalise it with signatures. These essential elements make the contract enforceable.
The most common contingency is the home inspection contingency. This condition on an offer states the home sale will only be finalized if the property passes a professional home inspection. In other words, buyers can walk away from a home sale if the home inspection turns up serious problems.
A contingent contract is a legal agreement in which the terms and conditions only apply or take effect if a specific event occurs. Essentially, the parties involved agree to perform actions or obligations based on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a particular event in the future.
All contingent contracts should include a number of different parts, such as specified terms and conditions, rewards and punishments, a defined tracking system, and the signatures of all parties involved. Large companies are not the only parties who utilize contingent contracts.
Ing to Boundy (2012), typically, a written contract will include: Date of agreement. Names of parties to the agreement. Preliminary clauses. Defined terms. Main contract clauses. Schedules/appendices and signature provisions (para. 5).
