AGREEMENT = OFFER + ACCEPTANCE

CONTRACT =AGREEMENT+ENFORCEABILITY AT LAW

FEATURES OF AN AGREEMENT:
1. Plurality of the parties
2. Consensus – ad-idem 3. Legal obligation

1. Plurality of the parties; for every agreement, there should be minimum two parties because one person alone cannot enter into an agreement with himself.

2. Consensus – ad-idem; the minds of both the parties must be in ad-idem, i.e., both the parties must think of the same subject matter the same time and in the same sense.

3. Legal obligation; an agreement, to become a valid contract, it should end in legal relations. Agreements without legal obligation will not be able to construct a contract. These agreements are purely domestic arrangements. 1
