What is contract?
A contract is an agreement between two or more persons (individuals, businesses, organizations, or government agencies) to do, or to do not some thing. A particular thing in exchange for something of value. Contracts can generally be written using formal or informal terms, or they can be entirely verbal. If one side fails to live up to his/her/it's part of the contract, there's a "breach" of contract and certain remedies for solving the differences are available. The terms of the contract, meaning, the who, what, where, when, and how of the agreement, define the binding promises of each party to the contract. Written contracts must contain the names of both parties, the agreed upon terms, and the parties signatures to be valid. A contract intends to formalize an agreement between two or more parties, in relation to a particular subject. Contracts can cover an extremely broad range of matters, including the sale of goods or real property, the terms of employment or of an independent contractor relationship, the settlement of a dispute, and ownership of intellectual property developed as part of a work for hire. Agreements and contracts are two different things. It is important to know first what constitutes a contract and what constitutes an agreement. We will then study which agreements are contracts, their distinction different types of agreements and contracts.

Essentials Elements of a Valid Contract:


Proposal and Acceptance: When one person signifies to another his willingness to do or abstain from doing anything with a view to obtaining the assent of that other to such act or abstinence he is said to make a proposal. The first step towards creating a contract is that one person shall signify or make a proposal or offer to the other, with a view to obtaining the acceptance of that another person to whom the offer is made. A proposal when accepted becomes a promise. When the person to whom the proposal is made signifies his assent thereof the proposal is said to be accepted. A proposal when accepted becomes a promise. Consideration: When at the desire of the promisor the promise or any other person has done or abstained from doing, or does or abstains from doing or promises to do or to abstain from doing something such act or abstinence or promise is called a consideration for the promise. Every contract consists of two parts - (1) Promise and (2) Consideration for the promise. A promise is often made in return for a promise for example a buyer realizes

the goods for the price. Price for goods is therefore, consideration here. Consideration is the cause of the promise. It is the most essential element of the contract. As a general rule, agreement without consideration is void. The promise for a promise in return is consideration. Illustrations: A agrees to sell his house to B for Rest 10,000. Here As promise to sell his house is for Bs consideration to pay Rs 10,000. Similarly Bs promise to pay Rs 10,000 is for As consideration to sell his house to B. An agreement is a contract, only if it is made for a lawful consideration and with a lawful object. Capacity of parties to contract Competent parties: Every person is competent to contract who is of the age of majority according to the law to which he is subject, and who is of sound mind, and is not disqualified from contacting by any law to which he is subject. Free Consent: Parties to a contract must give their consent. The parties must be ad idem, for example both the parties must agree upon the same thing in the same sense. Two or more persons are said to consent when they agree upon the same thing in the same sense. Mere consent is not enough. Consent of parties must be free, for example it must not have been obtained (1) coercion, (2) undue influence, (3) fraud, (4) misrepresentation, or (5) mistake. An agreement must not be expressly declared to be void: A void agreement is not enforceable by law (Sec 2(g)). It has no legal sanctity. It does not give rise to any rights and obligations. Various agreements are expressly declared void under the Act. Writing and registration: Oral contract is a valid contact. However the contract must be in writing and registered, if so required by any law, for example, gift, mortgage, sale, lease under the Transfer of Property Act 1882, Memorandum and Articles of Association of a Company under the Indian Companies Act, contracts under sub sections (10 and 3) of section 25 of the Indian Contract Act, etc. Documents specified under section 17 of the Indian Registration Act, 1908, are required to be registered. No particular form of writing is required to constitute a contract. Intentions of the parties to enter into a particular contract and to give effect to it must be manifest in it, in order to constitute a valid contract.

Legal relationship: Agreements which create legal relations or are capable of creating legal relations are contracts, for example, an invitation to a dinner does not create any legal relation and therefore is not a contract. Certainty: The terms of a contract should be clear. In other words, the contract must not be vague. Contracts which are vague cannot be enforced. Possibility of performance: Contracts based on impossibility of performance are not valid. The contracts must be capable of being performed. Enforceable by Law: A contract in order to be valid must be enforceable by law which element distinguishes agreement and contract. It is enforceable by law it is contract otherwise it is an agreement. The aggrieved party should be able to obtain relief through law in the event of breach of contract. An agreement can also be inferred from correspondence exchanged between the parties.

Contract of guarantee:
A contract, by which one party promises to save the other from loss caused to him by the conduct of the promise himself, or by the conduct of any other person, is called a "contract of guarantee..."

ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF CONTRACT OF GUARANTEE


1. TRIPARTITE CONTRACT: It is an agreement between the principal debtor, creator and surety. The tree separates contracts exist between them. If the promise principal debtor is not fulfilled, the liability for the surety arises. In a contract of guarantee the principal debtor is liable and the surety will be liable on principal debtors default. The principal contract exists between the principal debtor and the creditor and the contract between the sureties is a secondary contract. 2. CONSIDERATION: A contract guarantee like other contracts must fulfil essentials of a valid contract. It must be supported by some consideration. It is not necessary that there must be direct consideration between the surely and the creditor. The consideration by the principal debtor is sufficient for the surety. (Section 127)

3. MISREPRESENTATION: A guarantee obtained by means of misrepresentation made by the creator or with his knowledge ad assent, concerning a material part of the transaction is in valid. If the consent of surety will be obtained by misrepresentation, the surety is discharged from his liability (section 142). 4. CONCEALMENT: A guarantee which the creditor obtains by means of keeping silence to material circumstances is invalid. The expression keeping silence means intentional concealment of the facts. The creditor should disclose to surety the facts which are likely to affect the suretys liability (Section 143) 5. WRITING NOT NECESSARY: It is not necessary that the contract of guarantee must be in writing. It may Be either oral or written. It may be express of implied from the conduct of parties
