A contract needs to show the exchange between parties. One person will do work in exchange for money, for example. If the contract merely said that one person will do work, but it makes no mention of what the other person must provide, the contract is probably not valid and not enforceable.

She did recover, and they married, and though he began to write the promised mass, his Mass in C Minor, he never finished it.Whether a contract, or agreement, reached is between two or more people, companies, or countries, or between one person and themself, that agreement is still a contract.Whether a contract is in writing or verbal, or simply a handshake or a mental promise, it is a contract - an agreement.Whether that contract is enforceable is another matter and more details are needed if comment and information is required on the legitimacy and enforceability of contracts.
