No contract is valid unless it contains three essential elements: (1) the names of the "parties," (2) the "subject matter," and (3) "consideration." Each of these terms is defined below. Term: The "term" is the length of time over which the contract will be valid.
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 .
Oregon law states that the continued growing and harvesting of trees is the leading use of private forestland. And it requires landowners to protect soil, air, water and wildlife habitat for future generations.
Oregon contract law requires offer, acceptance, and consideration to form a contract. Contracts are legally binding and negotiated for trade/exchange. In such a deal, a guarantor needs something from a guarantee in return for a promise.
For a verbal agreement to be legally binding, it must fulfil the requirements applicable to all contracts. They are as follows: Offer: One party must make an offer to the other that is capable of being accepted or rejected. Acceptance: The other party must accept the offer in its entirety.
Generally speaking, a verbal contract is valid and binding, unless it is one of the types of contracts that are required to be in writing under the common law statute of frauds (such as contracts pertaining to an interest in land and contracts where performance will require more than a year, etc.).
