A contract is a formal agreement between parties.
The idea
Use a contract for one agreement and contracts for several. People can sign a contract and agree on its terms.
Examples
- The contract ends in June.
- Please read the contract carefully.
- Both artists signed the contract.
- The contract includes a payment date.
- They agreed to change the terms.
- Keep a copy of your contract.
