 Frequently Asked Questions

A1 : A contract is an agreement between two or more persons (individuals, businesses, organizations, or government agencies) to do, or to refrain from doing, a particular thing in exchange for something of value.
Contracts can generally be written using formal or informal terms, or they can be entirely verbal. If one side fails to live up to his/her/its part of the contract, there's a "breach" of contract and certain remedies for solving the differences are available. The terms of the contract, meaning, the who, what, where, when, and how of the agreement, define the binding promises of each party to the contract.

A2 : To sustain the desired cost, time and quality in project implementation.
Able to avoid any serious contractual problems and disputes.
Able to avoid any unnecessary argument between parties which may influence on reputation and business.

Avoid any mistakes occur during implementation of project which caused unnecessary rework and increase in project cost.

Acceptance is simply some indication by the person receiving the offer that the offer is accepted. The acceptance must be clear and absolute and without conditions attached. The objective by stander must be able to determine that the offer has been accepted.

4. Consideration
Is usually described as being something which represents either some benefit to the person making a promise, or some detriment to the person to whom the promise is made or both.

5. Certainty
A legal requirement of a valid offer to contract; that it must be precise and definite in order to be subject to acceptance.
