Key takeaways from this course about contracts and agreements.
Both agreements and contracts are legally binding, but there are some key differences between the two. An agreement is a more general and informal arrangement between two or more parties, while a contract is a more specific and formal document that outlines the terms of an agreement in greater detail.
Contracts and agreements are legally binding when all of the essential elements are present and both parties have signed off on them. The essential elements of a contract include:

- Offer: one party makes an offer to another

- Acceptance: the second party accepts the offer

- Consideration: each party agrees to exchange something of value (usually money)

- Intent to create legal relations: both parties must intend for the contract to be legally binding

- Capacity: both parties must be of legal age and have the mental capacity to understand the agreement

- Legality: the contract must not involve anything illegal

If even one of these elements is missing, the contract may not be enforceable.
