Understanding contracts. What is a contract?

GET IT IN WRITING . . . BEFORE YOU COMMIT YOUR VALUABLE MONEY, TIME AND EFFORTS.

A contract is a promise or set of promises, for breach of which the law gives a remedy, or the performance of which the law in some way recognizes as a duty.

Risk. The biggest risk is not having a signed comprehensive contract; the second biggest risks, is in not fully understanding your contract.

Before you sign a contract and commit your MONEY, ASSETS, TIME AND EFFORTS, ask yourself the following questions:

Do I clearly understand what exactly I am promising?
Has the other party made any real promises?
What are my rights? Do I fully understand them?
Am I personally liable for the promises made?
Are my personal assets at risk of seizure and sale?
Is the contract enforceable?
Have I protected myself as much as possible concerning this agreement?
