A void contract is one that is no longer enforceable for some reason, such as it has expired or the parties have cancelled it. A voidable contract is one where one or both of the parties could walk away from the contract without further obligation, but has not done so.

What is the Difference between void contracts and voidable contracts?

A void contract is one that has no effect due to some fundamental defect. Generally no property can pass under a void contract. Contracts contrary to public policy, for example, to restrain another from pursuing their business, are usually void. A voidable contract on the other hand, is a valid contract but the law gives one party an option whether or not to proceed with the agreement. For instance, there may be misrepresentation which allows the innocent party to make certain choices, thus a contract declared voidable. • •


What are valid and invalid contracts?

"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.


What type of contracts do minors for voidable?

Contracts entered into by minors are generally considered voidable, meaning the minor has the right to affirm or void the contract at their discretion. This includes most contracts, such as those for goods, services, or leases.

The rationale behind this legal principle is to protect minors from being exploited due to their lack of experience and maturity.
