Detrimental reliance (promissory estoppel), 181, 188 Cheeseman (2010) stated, "EQUITY: PROMISSORY ESTOPPEL The doctrine of promissory estoppel, or equitable estoppel, is another equitable exception to the strict application of the Statute of Frauds. The version of promissory estoppel in the Restatement (Second) of Contracts provides that if parties enter into an oral contract that should be in writing under the Statute of Frauds, the oral promise is enforceable against the promisor if three conditions are met: (1) The promise induces action or forbearance of action by another, (2) the reliance on the oral promise was foreseeable, and (3) injustice can be avoided only by enforcing the oral promise.Where this doctrine applies, the promisor is estopped ( prevented ) from raising the Statute of Frauds as a defense to the enforcement of the oral contract." (p.226)
Promissory estoppel is enforcement of a promise even where there is no binding contract. What you must prove for promissory estoppel vairous from state ot state, but usually includes (1) A clear and unambiguous promise; (2) Reasonable reliance upon the promise; and (3) Detriment to the promisee, caused by his or her reliance on the promise, and (4) it would be inequitable, i.e., unfair, not to enforce the promise. Fraud requires the additional proof that the promisor never intended to perform when s/he made the promise. Since fraud requires the same elements PLUS this adiditonal element, it would seem that a fraud claim to enforce a promise would never succeed if a promissory estoppel does not. However, you can use fraud to get damages for a misprepresented fact that is not a promise. A fact might mean a statement that certian facts exist. This type of fraud requires you to prove that a defendant made a false statement of fact, intending you to rely on it - or ought to have expected that you would rely on it - and you reasonably relied ot your detriment.

A quasi-contract is not actually a contract but is instead a remedy. Also known as an implied-in-law contract, it is recognized in order to do justice under contract law, such as wherein the doctrine of promissory estoppel is applied.An implied-in-fact contract is a contract deemed to exist between parties whose conduct tacitly recognizes the existence of a contract between them.
A secured promissory note has collateral attached - usually an item/items of value or a deposit. If the note is not fulfilled, the creditor can seize the collateral as payment. An unsecured note has no collateral attached.
