Business Management and Administration
A contract that is legally binding is considered valid and enforceable in a court of law. A contract is a clear outline of an agreement between at least two parties. Usually contracts define each party involved and any terms used within the agreement, the duration and/or timelines of the contract, payment terms and provisions that protect each party. Legally binding contracts are required to have "consideration" which means both parties are willingly entering into the agreement and are not being coerced.
