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 are the types of contract in building construction?
May a minor disaffirm part of a contract and affirm other parts?
Likely yes. Under general contract law principles, it is a valid contract and fully enforceable by the minor if the minor does not choose to void it. Which is why many businesses will not enter into contracts with a minor.
May a person incur obligations even without entering into a contract or voluntary agreement?
Yes, oral or written agreements are contractual obligations.
Is a contract void if both parties don't sign only one party signed?
Not necessarily. The party that did sign it can be held to the contract, but only if the other party is relying on that and performed their part of the agreement. And depending upon the course of dealing and what has occurred between the two parties, there may be other reasons to hold that the contract is valid, even if neither of the parties signed it.

Example of unenforceable contract?
Contracts are unenforceable for several reasons. Here are a few examples.
In many countries, a person under the age of eighteen years is not considered competent to make a contract. It is normally impossible to enforce a contract made against a minor.
In the UK, any activity that is not within the law cannot be enforced by a court. Unlicensed gambling, for example, is not against the law but it is not within the law. Therefore, a gambling debt cannot be enforced.
In almost all countries, a contract that deals with an illegal activity cannot be enforced. An agreement for one person to steal property in return for a payment from another cannot be enforced although the existence of such a contract may well be used to help prove criminal offences.
Note that an unenforceable contract does not mean a contract that is not in writing. Although a verbal contract may be hard to prove, if a court accepts that the contract has been made, it can make a judgment on the contract.
Is social contract theory a branch of contract law?
No, social contract theory is not a branch of contract law. Instead, it is a philosophical concept that explores the origins and legitimacy of political authority and the relationship between individuals and the state. Social contract theorists, like Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, discuss how individuals consent, either explicitly or implicitly, to form societies and governments for mutual benefit, which differs fundamentally from the legal principles governing contracts in law.

If a state law contradicts a union law which law will prevail?
if a state has a law that contradicts a union law then the union law is superior and should be followed in all cases. a famous case that showed this was called the factortame case where Britain tried to use its own fishing boat laws which contravened union law. the union found this action to be contrary to its laws and it was repealed.
Another View: (in the US) The above answer would be INCORRECT. Neither a labor union (nor anyone else for that matter) may have rules and regulations which contravene established US and state laws.
Can a subcontractor sue a contractor for nonpayment?
Yes under contract law a subcontractor can sue for breach of contract.
However subcontractors should become familiar with the state's construction or mechanics lien laws which grants them the right to lien the property to secure payment. Many states have preliminary or warning notices that must be served on the property owner(s), lender(s) and primary contractor within a specified period in order to secure lien rights. Do NOT lien a property without valid lien rights since you risk a multitude of retaliatory lawsuits.
How many days by law do you have to cancel a contract?
It could depend on the type of contract and in which state. In California, if you sign a home improvement contract, (room addition, kitchen remodel, etc.) you have 3 BUSINESS DAYS to cancel IF you signed the contract in your home. If you signed it in the contractors office you cannot cancel by law. It also depends on who you are dealing with. If all you lose is your deposit, consider it a lesson learned. Otherwise, see an attorney.
What is the passing of the risk in a contract of sale and discuss the rules outlining it?
Passing of risk refers to the obligation to protect the goods under contract until the event defined. For example, "free on board" (FOB) contracts transfer ownership and risk to the buyer from the moment the goods are loaded for shipment.
In many cases, absent a specific contract term to the contrary, the risk of loss passes from the seller to the buyer when the carrier offers the goods at the buyer's destination.
The party holding the risk is the one who should be responsible for insurance to cover the loss or damage to the goods. The other party may be asked to PAY for the insurance, but the loss would only be compensated to the person holding the risk.
What are some reasons to breach a contract?
Some reasons to break a mortgage contract are:
If the interest rate is above the legal rate for mortgages.
If the mortgage is given without an underlying debt (a promissory note), the mortgage contract is invalid. A mortgage is simply a pledge of the house as security for an underlying obligation. Without the note, there is no reason to pledge the house as security.
If the mortgage loan was obtained through a predatory lending practice made illegal by the Federal or state government.
These are some reason to breach a mortgage contract without being liable for damages. If you break a mortgagew contract, the lender can foreclose, take the property and get a judgment against you for any loss it suffers, plus attorneys fees and court costs.
In addition, even if the mortgage and mortgage note are breachable, you would be required to repay the money if you bought the house with it. The mortgage lender would lose the benefit of the bargain (the interest), but you would not be get out of repaying the loan as that would be unjust enrichment.
How much time would you serve if you were convicted of contempt of court in Cuyahoga county Ohio?
A court can only punish a criminal contempt up to 179 days, and $500 without a jury trial. Anything more than that requires a trial with a jury. See, Otis v. Meade, 483 S.W.2d 161 (Ky. 1972).
However, on civil contempt, a Court can hold someone indefinitely in jail until they agree to obey the Court's Order. As the Supreme Court said in Commonwealth v. Burge, "While one may be sentenced to jail for civil contempt, it is said that the contemptuous one carries the keys to the jail in his pocket, because he is entitled to immediate release upon his obedience to the court's order" See, 947 S.W.2d 805, 808 (1996).
IF the initial person has a key and is not scared the other person will be mad. LOL Try to do it while she is at the mall or somewhere shopping. That way you will have lots of distance between you and her. Good Luck
What makes a piece of work eligible for copyright?
It depends upon a number of factors, primarily the country in which something is created or published, when it was created or published, and whether the author is a citizen or resident of any country that subscribes to the Bern Convention or any other treaty on copyrights.
In the USA, for example, the rules change for US publications depending upon whether they were created or published before or after 1923, 1963, 1972, 1978, 1989 and 1996, among others. As a general rule, however, things created after 1989 are automatically protected for 95 years from the moment they are "fixed in a tangible form", things published prior to 1923 are not copyrighted and the answer for everything in the middle or for unpublished prior to 1989, is more complicated (copyright notice, renewal, date of author's death, etc).
Which test would you apply to ascertain whether an agreement is contract?
