1. What is a Contract? A contract is an oral or written agreement between two or more persons or entities that is enforceable by law. An exchange is made and promised. For example, Seller: “I will fix your car for $500”. Buyer: “I will pay you $400 to fix my car.” Seller: “Okay, I will fix your car for $400, deal.” Enforceable contract formed.

2. Oral vs. Written Contract. A contract may be oral or written. As long as it meets the legal requirements for contract formation, it is legally enforceable. And yes, a napkin agreement could count as a contract, so could email exchanges, verbal conversations and texts.

3. Benefits of a Written Contract. A signed written agreement allows you to override all previous conversations. Getting out of or collecting on an oral agreement could be difficult.

Avoid “he said, she said” disagreements.
