Contracts are a normal part of life in our expansive marketplace and dynamic economic reality as Americans. If you’re exploring what is and is not a contract or falls within the definition of a contract, you likely imagine stacks of paper with signature lines. The reality is much more dynamic! Contract law has become expansive in our digital world and includes much more than the traditional pen and paper legally binding documents of the past.

What are the Elements of a Binding Contract? 

There are specific requirements needed to meet the standard of a binding contract. Whether you’re creating a contract or reviewing a document before signing, you should be looking for the following elements: 

• Offer: A contract should include a clearly defined statement dictating a willingness to be governed by the terms of the agreement. The lack of a serious offer with clearly defined terms and conditions can render a contract void. Also, its legal status could be questioned if the contract is left open-ended without a clearly defined beginning, middle, and end. 
• Acceptance: If the contract terms are accepted, then the contract becomes a legal instrument. The accepting party must agree to the terms and conditions while the offer is open. If the offering party wants to change the terms or conditions of the contract, those changes must be in writing and incorporated into a new contract.
• Consideration: A contract needs an element of value at its center to be legally considered.
