Consideration can be anything of value (such as an item or service), which each party to a legally binding contract must agree to exchange if the contract is to be valid. If only one party offers consideration, the agreement is not legally a binding contract. In its traditional form, expressed as the requirement that in order for parties to be able to enforce a promise, they must have given something for it (quid pro quo): something must be given or promised in exchange or return for the promise. Therefore, the word itself does not have to be used.

Not necessarily. Consideration is important for the formation of a valid contract, but the absence of the word "consideration" does not automatically mean that there is no consideration. Courts will typically look at whether there was a mutual exchange of promises or something of value given by each party to determine if there is consideration.
