"Invalid contract" might describe the terms of an agreement that purports to be a contract--but by one or more legal theories does not constitute one, and is therefore unenforceable as one. This refers to a defect in contract formation--whose elements are those of mutual assent (effectively-communicated offer and acceptance) and consideration (a bargained-benefit or detriment). An "invalid contract" may or may not be enforceable as a set of one or more enforceable promises, depending on whether alternative theories apply, such as that of promissory estoppel.

Void contract, as compared with voidable contract,refers to a contract that has become void by reason of one or more contract-law avoidance theories. A voidable contract is one voidable at the option of one of the parties. Two examples: a contract entered into for an illegal purpose is void. A contract entered into by a minor is voidable at the minor's option unless subsequently ratified.
