What happens when a contract is not performed?
When one party to a contract does not perform his duties they are in breach of contract and there are legal implications. Each party to a contract makes a promise to either perform a certain duty or pay a certain amount. If one party fails to act as promised, and the other party has fulfilled the duties under the contract, the other party is entitled to legal relief. When one party has breached the contract, the party who has performed is entitled to various remedies for the breach. * Consequential damages - This requires the breaching party to pay the non-breaching party an amount that puts the non-breaching party in the same position they would have been in if the contract was performed * Punitive damages - Courts can force the breaching party to make a payment as a punishment for the breach of contract * Liquidated damages - The parties agree, at the time they make the contract, that if one party breaches the contract, the breaching party should pay a specified sum. Thus, this is an amount written in the contract * Nominal damages - This is a minimal amount provided to the non-breaching party if that party won the case but did not financially lose much In certain situations, they can also get specific performance of the contract.

What is Ambiguity in contract against drafter?
Ambiguity in a contract happens when there is a term, or set of terms, that are not defined, that can be construed to have more than one meaning (hence the ambiguity in the contract). When this happens, the ambiguity is construed against the drafter of the contract since it was the party that drafted the contract. The drafter of the contract had the opportunity to define each of the terms in the contract before presenting it to the other party to execute. The person agreeing to the contract that is not the drafter often does not have the ability to alter the contractual terms or definitions contained in the contract. Further, the drafter of the contract often is the "savvy business person" or "savvy business entity" that use contracts all the time. To get around this, often a drafter will put a section in the contract that states that each party to the contract assisted in drafting the contract, which will help the drafter make the argument that the potential for an ambiguity being construed against the drafter is eliminated.
Is a contract considered executed if it signed by one party and mailed to the other party and returned to the original party with both signatures?
I think you just have a confusion of terms here. The situation you described will be considered an agreed upon enforceable contract. A contract will be considered execute when all of the duties of each party have been fulfilled. (For example, when a seller sends the goods to the buyer and the buyer pays the seller for the goods).

Discharge by frustration?
A contract may be discharged by frustration. A contract may be frustrated where there exists a change in circumstances, after the contract was made, which is not the fault of either of the parties, which renders the contract either impossible to perform or deprives the contract of its commercial purpose. Where a contract is found to be frustrated, each party is discharged from future obligations under the contract and neither party may sue for breach. The allocation of loss is decided by the Law Reform (Frustrated Contracts) Act 1943.
