requirements to the agent and it’s
his responsibilities to meet the
needs and requirements of the
person.
Contracts and agreements are
done by every single person regularly.
This is a formal document between two
people, that is been signed by the
respective parties and witnesses have to
be present there at the time of
agreements and contract. An individual
has no idea that he is been in a contract
from the very first day when we decided
to purchase any item. Contracts are made
only when both the parties are agreed.
This topic is very crucial and significant topic. As in

made to ensure that there should be no false
statements and misleading comment. These are
generally made in terms of prices, arrangements
during travelling and also in terms to holidays.
