Course Overview

A Contract can be defined as a legally binding oral or written agreement signed between two parties in order to provide goods or service. The major purpose for a law of contract is to control the conflict of interests which leads to disputes among the parties. Therefore, the contract law defines the boundary of an agreement with certain principles where the parties should bind to those principles.

In order to form a strong legally binding contract, it is important to understand the formation and the contents of a contract. There are several factors to consider while forming a contract including the offer, acceptance, governing law, third party rights etc. The contents of a contract depend on the terms and conditions of a specific project.

Therefore, having a wider understanding on the different types of terms and conditions is important. Moreover, more care should be given to the clauses related to performance and discharge, the breach and remedies for breaches as the disputes are arising very often due to the same.
