== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Contract''' β A legally binding agreement between two or more parties. * '''Offer''' β A proposal by one party to another intended to create a binding contract. * '''Acceptance''' β An agreement to the terms of an offer. * '''Consideration''' β Something of value exchanged by both parties (e.g., money for a car). * '''Capacity''' β The legal ability to enter into a contract (e.g., being an adult of sound mind). * '''Legality''' β The requirement that the contract must be for a legal purpose. * '''Breach of Contract''' β The failure to perform any term of a contract without a legitimate legal excuse. * '''Damages''' β Money awarded to a party for loss or injury caused by a breach of contract. * '''Specific Performance''' β A court order requiring a party to actually perform their side of the contract (rare, usually for unique items like land). * '''Unconscionability''' β A defense against a contract that is so one-sided or unfair that it "shocks the conscience." * '''Force Majeure''' β An "Act of God" clause that frees parties from liability when an extraordinary event (like a war or pandemic) prevents them from fulfilling the contract. * '''Arbitration''' β Resolving a dispute outside of court with a neutral third party. * '''Statute of Frauds''' β A rule requiring certain types of contracts (like for land) to be in writing to be enforceable. * '''Void vs. Voidable''' β A void contract was never legal; a voidable contract is legal but one party has the right to cancel it (e.g., a contract with a minor). </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
