When entering into a contract, the parties must ensure that there is mutual agreement on the terms, often demonstrated through an offer and acceptance. The contract should be in writing if it involves significant obligations, such as real estate transactions or agreements lasting over a year, to comply with the Statute of Frauds. Additionally, both parties must have the legal capacity to contract, and the contract must have a lawful purpose. Finally, consideration, or something of value exchanged, is essential for a valid contract.
