A contract is an agreement by which one party agrees to do certain things or provide certain services to another party, in exchange for consideration of some sort - usually money. A contract can be written or verbal, however it is always preferable to have a written contract, especially in case there is a dispute.

To be legally binding, the contract must describe the acts, services, materials, or other items to be supplied by the one party, the consideration to be paid by the other party, and the terms and conditions which will govern the relationship between the parties, such as how long the contract will be in effect, a procedure for termination, what happens if a party breaches the terms of the contract, etc.

A written contract must then be signed by the parties in whatever manner is required under the laws of the country, state, province or territory which will govern the performance of the contract.
