define the term contract?
454529
a contract has three essential elements. CONSENT, CONSIDERATION, and OBJECT. it is a binding agreement between two or more parties to do something or not to do something. all contracts are agreements. the exception would probably be quasi-contracts. because here, there is no agreement since it is the law that creates the obligation. two of the most common quasi contracts would be negotiorum gestio and solutio indebiti. the first is under the principle that no body should enrich himself at the expense of another. for example, when your neighbor makes repairs on your house while youre away to prevent it from falling apart, then you are obliged to reimburse him for the expenses. the second would mean payment by mistake. for example when you paid mc donalds more than the actual cost of the food you ordered, they are obliged to return to you the change. i hope my answer helped.

I'm not sure if you meant procurement, but if you did, in the legal profession, it is usually the act of obtaining, attainment, acquisition, bringing about or effecting.  The government often has procurement contracts with manufacturers or suppliers of goods, services or machinery under the terms of which a sale or service is made to the government.

In Black’s Law Dictionary an Oral Contract is defined as:\n\nOne which is partly in writing and partly depends on spoken words, or none of which is in writing; one which, so far as it has been reduced to writing, is incomplete or expresses only part of what is intended, but is completed by spoken words; or one which, originally written, has afterwards been changed orally.\n\nIn short, such a contractual dispute would go before the law (court, mediator, magistrate, etc.) and that which could be proven as agreement between the parties to the contract )written or oral) would be the rule.  There are other factors , but if you can demonstrate to the court that there was a “meeting of the minds” it can be inforced.
