Unit 2: Agreement and Contract Definitions

The foundation of contract law lies in its definitions. In this unit, we analyze the statutory pipeline of a contract: from an initial offer to a legally binding agreement under the Indian Contract Act, 1872.

We will examine the famous legal maxim: "All contracts are agreements, but not all agreements are contracts," and break down the absolute essentials that turn a simple social promise into a high-authority legal obligation enforced by courts.
