State about contract and conditions over forming it
Contract laws these are the laws that makes formation of agreement taking place between
two parties. Such agreements makes contract formation taking place in relation to contract and
helps in legalizing it in more affective way. These laws is based upon making promises within
parties willing to form a contract. In this an statement is there which justifies the contract laws
that is “agreements can be contract but contract cannot be agreement”. It defines that agreements
can be considered as contracts but contracts cannot be considered as an agreement. The promise
made between two parties leads over contract performance possible through maintaining its
elements(Lenka and Kar, 2021). Contract laws various agreements in both mutual and expresses

manner in more effective manner. Under law of contract various questions is been answered
which are based over compensation to be provided over those parties attained for claim on action
taken by wrong doer. These laws makes sustainability over obligation formed created in more
affective way.
Contracts are based upon written and unwritten which means that contract can be done
through mutual consent or an legal agreement in written form. These are based over various
kinds of elements which are offer, acceptance, obligation, legality and validity. In this offer
makes formation of idea and its presentation done by one party to another party. Acceptance
under it both parties makes acceptance created over making idea accepted that is been presented
by other party to another party. Then comes third element that is obligation within which rules
has been formed regarding contract which makes agreement attain more strength in the eyes of
law. Legality it is based upon checking that obligation formed over rules and regulation
discussed by parties. Under it only legal aspects related over rules is been covered which has
been formed by parties. Validity in this an agreement formed between parties has helped in
attaining validity in the eyes of law which means it should not be based over any illegal activity
that is been barred by government. These elements is required to be presented within an contract
to makes it more legal in nature and if any one element is absent then contract cannot be valid in
nature. In contract wrong is done in the form of breach of trust and breach of contract that is been

makes constituting of invitation to treat done that is been offered. Customer has taken goods

which leads over making purchase and shop done over providing assistance that makes
