1A [blank_start]contract[blank_end] is an [blank_start]agreement[blank_end] that is [blank_start]binding[blank_end] and legally [blank_start]enforceable[blank_end].
A contract is formed/created/entered into when one party makes an [blank_start]offer[blank_end] which is then accepted by the other party.
A counter-offer does not constitute [blank_start]acceptance[blank_end].
Under common law, for a contract to be properly formed and hence enforceable, legally sufficient [blank_start]consideration[blank_end] is also required. Often consideration is the purchase [blank_start]price[blank_end] but it need not be money. It can be something else of [blank_start]value[blank_end] that induces the agreement.

3INTRODUCTORY SECTION
[blank_start]Headings[blank_end] are placed in the center of the contract's first page, usually in a larger bold typeface.
It should identify the contract's nature as much as possible (e.g. International Agency Agreement; Agreement for Services; Purchase Agreement; Purchase and Sale Agreement; Merge Agreement; Employment Agreement; Licensing Agreement; Nondisclosure Agreement).
Note that the term "[blank_start]agreement[blank_end]" is more common than "contract" although both terms are synonymous.- AHeadings
- BCaptions
- CHeadlines
- Dagreement
- Earrangement
4INTRODUCTORY SECTION (Names and Addresses)
The contract's introductory statement, which comes directly after the heading, identifies the parties to the contract and their correct legal description (whether they are [blank_start]natural[blank_end] persons, partnerships, companies, etc.), as well as where they [blank_start]reside[blank_end] (for natural persons) or where their [blank_start]principal[blank_end] place of business is located (for corporate entities).
The words "between" (for two parties) or "among" (for more than two parties) describe the parties' contractual relationship.
The parties' names are usually shortened in the introductory statement by using defined terms, e.g. Saran Industries ("Saran") or Jack Black (the "Contractor"). Always ensure that defined terms are capitalized and used in a consistent manner throughout the text.- Anatural

6CONTRACT DATE
The contract date is commonly included in the [blank_start]introductory[blank_end] statement or at the end of the contract.
The [blank_start]execution[blank_end] date (when the parties sign the contract) is frequently but not always the contract's effective date (when the contract comes into force).
In some cases, however, the contract will have separate execution and effective dates.
In such cases, the contract's core provisions should include a clause to this effect (e.g. "the Effective Date shall be ten calendar days after the date on which all parties have executed the contract").- Aintroductory
- Bmiddle
- Cexecution
- Deffective
7The best translation to the following clause is:
"The Effective Date shall be ten calendar days after the date on which all parties have executed the contract"- AA Data Efetiva será dez dias corridos após a data em que todas as partes executaram o contrato
- BO contrato entrará em vigor após dez dias corridos da data em que todas as partes assinarem o presente instrumento contratual.
8RECITALS
Recitals are [blank_start]optional[blank_end] but are useful to provide [blank_start]additional[blank_end] context on background facts, the parties' [blank_start]intentions[blank_end], or important documentation.
While recitals are not typically [blank_start]binding[blank_end] in nature, courts may use them to establish the parties' [blank_start]true[blank_end] intentions.- Aoptional
- Badditional
- Cintentions
- Dbinding
- Etrue
9You can start the Recitals using the traditional term "(...)"; or you may choose more straightforward headings such as "(...)", or "(...)", and even a simple statement such as "(...)"
- AWhereas
- BRecitals
- CBackground Facts
- DThis contract is entered into under the following facts:
- EWherein
- FWhether
10CHOOSE THE BEST TRANSLATIONS TO THE FOLLOWING CLAUSES:
- ARECITALS = exposição de motivos; considerandos
- BWHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell the real estate = CONSIDERANDO que o vendedor deseja vender o imóvel
- CWHEREAS, the Buyer desires to buy the real estate = CONSIDERANDO que o comprador deseja comprar o imóvel
- DNOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows = ASSIM SENDO, têm entre si justo e contratado a celebração do presente contrato:
- EWHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell the real estate = LEVANDO EM CONTA que o vendedor procura vender o imóvel
- FWHEREAS, the Buyer desires to buy the real estate = TENDO EM MENTE que o comprador planeja a aquisição do imóvel
11TRANSITIONAL CLAUSE (NOW, THEREFORE)
If you use recitals in a contract, include a transitional clause to signal the end of the recitals and the beginning of the contract's binding terms.
The transitional clause in a common-law contract should state that both parties acknowledge (1) that consideration exists (2) that the consideration is sufficient, and (3) that the parties have received it or will receive it under the agreement.
As consideration is one of the essential elements required for a binding contract under common law, stating that consideration exists helps guarantee that the contract cannot later be deemed void for lack of consideration.
Drafters unfamiliar with US law might be tempted to omit this sentence, but in doing so, would be doing their clients a great disservice and potentially exposing the contract to enforceability challenges.- ATrue
- BFalse
12Name the following parts of a contract:

- ARecitals
- BTransitional Clause
13Main Provisions (Body of the Contract)
This section of the contract deals with the parties' [blank_start]rights[blank_end] and [blank_start]obligations[blank_end] under the contract, and commonly includes terms dealing with [blank_start]consideration[blank_end], the goods or [blank_start]services[blank_end] at issue, performance, [blank_start]term[blank_end], and termination, and [blank_start]compensation[blank_end] under the contract. The type and number of provisions will vary depending on the nature of the contract.- Arights

15Execution page

Any appendices, for instance, definitions or timelines, are usually included in [blank_start]schedules[blank_end] after the execution page.- Aexecution
- Beffective
