Answer preview

Both professionally and individually, contracts play a remarkable role in protecting a business. A contract cab be defined as deliberate, legally and voluntary binding agreement that involves two or more parties. Notably, a contract is enforceable by legislation as a binding legal agreement. It is clear that a contract arises when the parties involved agree that there is a binding agreement. Contract usually offers a framework explaining how a business activity has to occur and it constitutes conditions and terms mutually agreed and negotiated between the involved parties.
