Contract formation

Match the questions with paragraphs that answer them

A What form can an enforceable contract take?

B When do third parties possess enforceable rights in a contract?

C Upon which grounds related to the formation of a contract may its validity be attacked?

D What are the elements of an enforceable contract?

E What are the essential terms of a contract?

1.

1. Under the common law, a promise becomes an enforceable contract when there is an offer by one party (offeror) that is accepted by the other party (offeree) with the exchange of legally sufficient consideration (a gift or donation does not generally count as consideration); hence the equation learned by law students: offer + acceptance + consideration = contract. The law regards a counter offer as a rejection of the offer. Therefore, a counter offer does not serve to form a contract unless, of course, the counter offer is accepted by the original offeror.

2.

2. For a promise to become an enforceable contract, the parties must also agree on the essential terms of the contract, such as price and subject matter. Nevertheless, courts will enforce a vague or indefinite contract under certain circumstances, such as when the conduct of the parties, as opposed to the written instrument, manifests sufficient certainty as to the terms of the agreement.

3.

3. An enforceable agreement may be manifested in either written or oral words (an express contract) or by conduct or some combination of conduct and words (an implied contract). There are exceptions to this general rule. For example, the Statute of Frauds requires that all contracts involving the sale of real property be in writing.

4.

4. In a contractual dispute, certain defences to the formation of a contract may permit a party to escape his/her obligations under the contract. For example, illegality of the subject matter, fraud in the inducement, duress and the lack of legal capacity to contract all enable a party to attack the validity of a contract.

5.

5. In some cases, individuals/companies who are not a party to a particular contract may nevertheless have enforceable rights under the contract. For example, contracts made for the benefit of a third party (third-party beneficiary contracts) may be enforceable by the third party. An original party to a contract may also subsequently transfer his rights/duties under the contract to a third party by way of an assignment of rights or delegation of duties. This third party is called the asignee in an assignment of rights and the delegate in a delegation of duties

Match these defences with their definitions: 1. illegality of the subject matter, 2. fraud in the inducement, 3 duress, 4 lack of legal capacity

A) when one party does not have the ability to enter into a legal contract, i.e, is not of legal age, is insane or is a convict or enemy alien

B) when one party induces another into entering into a contract by use or threat of force, violence, economic pressure or other similar means

C) when either the subject matter (e.g. the sale of illegal drugs) or the consideration of a contract is illegal

D) when one party is intentionally misled about the terms, quality or other aspect of the contractual relationship that leads the party to enter into the transaction

Understanding contracts

Lawyers are usually involved at the formation stage of a contract, which includes advising, drafting and negotiating. Drafting is commonly carried out with the help of contract templates or forms. Nevertheless, legal counsel must advise on the inclusion or omission of clauses and their wording. To do this, familiarity with common clause types and the language typically used is necessary

damages, 7.entire agreement, 8.severability, 9.termination, 10.payment of costs

A clause stating that the written terms of an agreement may not be varied by prior or oral agreements because all such agreements have been consolidated into the written document

B Clause designed to protect against failures to perform contractual obligations caused by unavoidable events beyond the party’s control, such as natural disasters or wars

Match these types of contract clauses with their definitions: 1.acceleration, 2.assignment, 3.confidentiality, 4.consideration, 5.Force Majeure,6. liquidated

damages, 7.entire agreement, 8.severability, 9. termination, 10.payment of costs

C clause outlining when and under which circumstances the contract may be terminated

D clause concerning the treating of information as private and not for distribution beyond specifically identified individuals or organisations, or used other than for specifically identified purposes

E clause in a contract requiring the obligor to pay all or a part of a payable amount sooner than as agreed upon the occurrence of some event or circumstance stated in the contract, usually failure to make payment

10.payment of costs

F clause in a contract requiring which party is responsible for payment of costs related to preparation of the agreement and ancillary documents

G clause expressing the cause, motive, price or impelling motive which induces one party to enter into an agreement

H clause referring to an amount predetermined by the parties as the total amount of compensation a non-breaching party should receive if the other party breaches a part of the contract

1.acceleration, 2. assignment, 3. confidentiality, 4. consideration, 5. Force Majeure, 6. Liquidated Damages. 7. Entire Agreement, 8. Severability, 9. Termination, 10. Payment of costs

I clause prohibiting or permitting assignment under certain conditions

J clause providing that, in the event that one or more provisions of the agreement are declared unenforceable, the balance of the agreement remains in force

Severability

The severability clause states that the terms of the contract are independent of each another, so that if a term in the contract is deemed unenforceable by a court, the contract as a whole will not be deemed unenforceable.

It may contain two parts: (a) savings language to preserve the validity of all other terms in the event that one provision is determined to be unenforceable; and (b) reformation language to scale back overly broad provisions to terms and scope that are enforceable (such as limiting the time and geographic scope of non-compete covenants).

Identify the type of clause exemplified by each of these clauses

1. The seller’s liability for damages shall in no case exceed the purchase price of the particular quantity delivered with respect of which damages are claimed.

2. Whenever, within the sole judgment of Seller, the credit standing of Buyer shall become impaired, Seller shall have the right to demand that the remaining portion of the contract be fully performed within ten (10) days.

Key

1. liquidated damages2. accelaration

Plain English

1. if the seller breaches the contract, or part of the contract, he may have to pay compensation to the purchaser. The maximum amount of that compensation is fixed. It can’t be more than the value of the delivery that led to the breach of contract (in other words, the price per item times the number of items in that delivery). Of course, the actual compensation might be much less than that, but it can’t be more than that.

Plain English

2. The buyer has a reputation for paying debts on time, which the seller uses to calculate a credit standing for that buyer. If the seller decides that the buyer’s credit rating has got worse, for example if the buyer has failed to pay one of the instalments on time, the seller can force the buyer to pay all the remaining instalments within ten days.


3. Neither party shall be liable in damages or have the right to terminate this Agreement for any delay or default in performing hereunder if such delay or default is caused by conditions beyond its control including, but not limited to, acts of God, government restrictions (including the denial or cancellation of any export or other necessary licence), wars, insurrections and/or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the party whose performance is affected.

Key

Force Majeure

Plain English

3. this clause protects both parties in case something unexpected happens which they can’t control. For example, there might be a natural disaster (earthquake), or the government might deny or cancel one of their export licenses, or there might be a war. If anything like this happens, the party who is affected doesn’t have to pay damages for any failure to pay or deliver on time. The other party isn’t allowed to cancel the contract as a result of these unexpected problems. This only applies to deliveries or payments which are directly affected by the unexpected event


4. This Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Buyer may assign the Agreement to a subsidiary or related corporation so long as the owners of at least seventy-five per cent (75%) of the stock of such corporation are either Buyer or the shareholders of Buyer.

Key

Assignment

Plain English

4. The buyer is allowed to assign the agreement to another company if the buyer or the buyer’s shareholders own at least 75% of that other company. Apart from this situation, if either party wants to assign the agreement to a third party, they have to get written permission from the other party first.


5. In the event Operator defaults in the performance of any covenant or agreement made hereunder, as to payments of amounts due hereunder or otherwise, and such defaults are not remedied to the Supplier’s satisfaction within ten (10) days after notice of such defaults, the Supplier may thereupon terminate this agreement and all rights hereunder of the Operator but such termination shall not affect the obligations of the Operator to take action or abstain from taking action after termination hereof, in accordance with this agreement

Key

Termination

Plain English

5. If the operator fails to make the necessary payments, the supplier will give the operator ten days to make the payments. If the operator still fails to make the payments after those ten days have passed, the supplier has the right to cancel the contract. If this happens, the operator loses all the rights he had under the contract, but he doesn’t lose his obligations.


6 This Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto, constitutes and contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect of the subject matter hereof and collectively supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, understandings and agreements between the parties respecting the subject matter thereof. No party is relying on or shall be deemed to have made any representations or promises not expressly set forth or referred to in this Agreement.

Key

Language notes

cov·e·nantnoun \ˈkəv-nənt, ˈkə-və-\A legally binding agreement. It typically

requires an owner of real property to do (or refrain from doing) something

Language notes

Capitalized terms are those which are consistently written with a capital letter.

How many capitalised terms are there in this covenant?

8: Covenant, Shareholder, Purchaser, Seller, Purchase Agreement, Business, Closing, Agreement

The capital letter shows that these terms are defined

The uncapitalised shareholder refers to any shareholder

Language notes

Paragraph A is potentially ambiguous as to what is actually sold: does “the Business” refer to the …business owned and operated by Seller or to certain assets of the…business…? This is defined in the Purchase Agreement

Language notes

Issued capital stock: the total amount of a company’s stock that has been issued and represents the total capitalized value of the company.

Language notes

Outstanding capital stock: the number of shares of capital stock that have been issued and that are in public hands. Outstanding stock excludes shares issued but subsequently repurchased by the issuer as treasury stock. Outstanding stock is used in the calculation of book value per share and earnings per share. Also called shares outstanding, stock outstanding.

Language notes

Paragraphs D and E refer to time, money and credit

Credit here refers to borrowing capacity. In other words, the Purchaser has borrowed money and can therefore borrow less for other investments

Precedent – used as an adjective in paragraph F; means ‘preceding’ or ‘before’: the Covenant must be completed before the Purchase Agreement can be closed.

Paragraph F says that the shareholder must execute the Covenant. Execute means simply ‘sign’.

Language notes

Paragraph 1 mentions controlling ownership interest (of record or beneficial). A shareholder of record is the person named on the share certificate as the owner, but in fact the beneficial owner (=the ‘real’ owner) may be somebody else. E.g. for tax reasons, a shareholder might buy some shares in the name of one of her children, but she has the advantages of being a shareholder.

Language notes

A lessee – a person who leases (i.e. rents) sth, typically property, from somebody else

Language notes

Paragraph 2b starts in a very confusing way: it looks as if the Shareholder shall subject somebody to something. In fact subject to is used as a preposition, here meaning broadly ‘in accordance with’. In other words, the Shareholder is obliged to keep certain information confidential, as long as he isn’t going to break any laws by doing so.

Language notes

Wire transfer = electronic transfer of fundsProvision of an agreement - a clause which

states a condition that must be metStricken – an alternative past participle of

strike; when strike means hit, its past participle is struck. When it means ‘delete’, its past participle is stricken. In both cases the past simple form is struck.

E-contracts

What do you know about e-contracts? Are they used often in your jurisdiction?

Complete the spaces (1-5) using these sentences:

A) Consumer advocates are concerned because the federal electronic signature law does not define an electronic signature or stipulate what technologies can or should be used to create an electronic signature

B) An electeronic contract is an agreement created and “signed” in electronic form.

C) The law also benefits business-to-business websites who need enforceable agreements for ordering supplies and services. For all of these companies, the new law is essential legislation because it helps them conduct business entirely on the Internet.

Complete the spaces (1-5) using these sentences

D) Security experts currently favour the cryptographic signature method known as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) as the most secure and reliable method of signing contracts online.

E) the notice must also indicate whether your consent applies only to the particular transaction at hand, or whether the business has to get consent to use e-documents/signatures for each transaction.

New law makes e-signatures validContracts created online are now as legal as those on

paper

While contract basics generally apply to any contract, regardless of form, there are some new and emerging rules that apply specifically to contracts created online. Thanks to federal legislation recently signed into law, electronic contracts and electronic signatures are just as legal and enforceable as traditional paper contracts signed in ink. The law, known as the Electronic Signatures in Global and International Commerce Act, removes the uncertainty that previously accompanied e-contracts. However, consumer groups worry that the law doesn’t adequately protect against online fraud and may create disadvantages and penalties for consumers who prefer printed agreements.

What are electronic contracts and electronic signatures?

1)___An e-contract can also be a “Click to Agree” contract, commonly used with downloaded software; the user clicks an “I Agree” button on a page containing the terms of the software license before the transaction can be completed.

What are electronic contracts and electronic signatures?

One of the more difficult electronic contract issues has been whether agreements made in a purely online environment were “signed” and therefore legally binding. Since a traditional ink signature isn’t possible on an electronic contract, people have used several different ways to indicate their electronic signatures, including typing the signer’s name into the signature area, pasting in a scanned version of the signer’s signature, clicking an “I Accept” button, or using cryptographic “scrambling” technology. While the term “Digital signature” is used for any of these methods, it is becoming standard to reserve the term for cryptographic signature methods, and to use “electronic signature” for other paperless signature methods.

Are e-signatures secure?

2)___ PKI uses an algorithm to encrypt online documents so that they will be accessible only to authorized parties. The parties have “keys” to read and sign the document, thus ensuring that no one else will be able to sign fraudulently. Though its standards are still evolving, it is expected that PKI technology will become widely accepted.

No paper needed

The most significant legal effect of the new e-signature law is to make electronic contracts and signatures as legally valid as paper contracts. The fact that electronic contracts have been given solid legal support is great news for companies that conduct business online. Under the law, consumers can now buy almost any goods or services-from cars to home mortgages without placing pen to paper. 3)___

Federal law versus state law

The federal electronic signature law won’t override any state laws on electronic transactions provided the state law is “substantially similar” to the federal law or the state has adopted the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). This ensures that electronic contracts and electronic signatures will be valid in all states, regardless of where the parties live or where the contract is executed.

Do you want paper or electronic?

If you prefer paper, the law provides a means for you to opt out of using electronic contracts. An online company must provide a notice indicating whether paper contracts are available and informing you that if you give your consent to use electronic documents, you can later change your mind. If you withdraw consent to use electronic contracts, the notice must explain what fees or penalties might apply if the company must use paper agreements for the transaction. 4)____


Prior to obtaining your consent, the business must also provide a statement outlining the hardware and software requirements to read and save the business’s electronic documents. If the hardware or software requirements change while you have a contractual relationship with the business, the business must notify you of the change and give you the option to revoke your consent to using electronic documents.


Although the e-signature law doesn’t force consumers to accept electronic documents from businesses, it poses a potential disadvantage for low-tech citizens by allowing businesses to collect additional fees from those who opt for paper.

Consumer concerns

5)____The law establishes only that electronic signatures in all their forms qualify as signatures in the legal sense, and leaves it up to software companies and the free market to establish which electronic signature methods will be used.

Consumer concerns

Since electronic- signatures technology is still evolving, many kinds of e-signatures offer little, if any, security. If a consumer uses an insecure signature method, identity thieves could intercept it online and use it for fraudulent purposes. It is expected that secure methods of electronic signatures will be adopted and become as commonplace as credit cards. However, stolen electronic signatures have the potential to become as widespread a problem for e-commerce as credit-card scams and stolen passwords. Consumer-protection groups suggest caution before signing anything online.
