• THE CONTRACT (droit anglais)

  REQUIREMENT FOR TERMS OF A CONTRACT Although contracts can be interpreted as almost any monetary exchange for goods or services, the terms of an agreement are often required so that compensation can be obtained if one party fails in its responsibilities.

That being said, many contracts of a ve...
