A contract is binding when it is entered into between parties having the capacity to enter a contract, and is made in light of adequate consideration. Consideration can be defined as something of value which is a detriment to the one who gives it and a benefit to one who receives it. For example, if A promises to mow B's lawn, and B promises to pay A $50 when he finishes, the parties have exchanged consideration -- here, a promise for a promise.
