Contracts are an extremely important part of life — both in business and in our personal lives. They have existed in some form or another for hundreds of years, having roots in Ancient Roman and Greek thought.

But what are they?

A contract is either a written or verbal agreement between two parties. They can be bilateral, both parties agree to do something, or unilateral, one party does an act (like pay for an insurance policy) and the other promises to do something in a certain circumstance.

In order to count as a contract, the agreement form must contain these 5 elements:

  • A legal purpose (a contract hiring someone to do something illegal is unenforceable)
  • Both parties are in agreement
  • Both parties are of sound mind
  • Consideration (each party is bringing something of value to the table)
  • Genuine assent (neither party commits fraud or forces the other to sign the contract)

Example of Contract 

Putting together a contract isn’t too difficult. However, there are specific elements that must be included in order for the contract to be considered legally binding. To make it easier, we recommend looking at a simple contract example on Proposable.com to make sure you don’t miss anything. Whether you’re drawing up a contract for work or creating an agreement between two parties for money, it’s always best to have a solid contract in place. This protects both parties in case there is any trouble.

After you sit down and look at a detailed project contract template or a sample contract agreement between two parties in PDF, you might wonder if the paperwork is necessary. After all, back in the day people just shook hands to signify they were promising to do something.

Technically, verbal contracts are legally binding. The trouble is, without written proof, they are very difficult to prove in court. Thus, if you want to protect yourself from any shenanigans, particularly if there is a lot at stake, you should insist on a written contract.

When creating your contract online, beware of fake contract makers. You want to ensure that your contract is written correctly and, thus, legally binding. Otherwise, if the other party defaults on their promises, you won’t have much legal recourse to remedy the situation.

On Proposable.com you can find specific examples of contracts that will apply to your particular situation. We offer many formats and contract types. For example, you can find a lease agreement template in Google Docs, a PAGES contract template, or a sample agreement between two parties in PDF form.

We make it easy to protect yourself when entering into an agreement with someone, whether it be for a personal or business reason.

Service Contract Template

A popular type of contract is a service contract. In this type of contract, one party agrees to pay a sum of money, while the other party agrees to perform a service. This money may be paid before or after the service is performed. Sometimes, a deposit is paid before and the rest of the money due is paid when the services are finished.

For example, a cleaning company will sign a client service agreement with their customers. They agree to provide thorough cleaning services and the client agrees to pay a certain sum of money at certain times.

As another example, a wedding photographer will use a professional service agreement with their clients. The clients agree to pay a sum of money, the photographer documents their event and delivers the agreed-upon number of images afterward.

What happens if one of the parties breaches a simple professional services agreement or any type of contract? That is, they don’t hold up their end of the bargain.

The first steps are usually informal attempts to resolve the issue, i.e. pointing out the mistake and seeing if the guilty party will correct it, etc. If these attempts fail, it can progress to a lawsuit.

If you send out a lot of contracts, having a robust service contract template, delivery service contract template, or b2b service agreement template is vital. Check out Proposable’s excellent service contract template. Not only will you save yourself a lot of time but also a lot of headaches.

Simple Contractor Agreement

Contractors, so-called because they work on a contract basis, obviously use a lot of contract agreement letters in their work. These can be building professionals or freelancers. Businesses and individuals alike hire contractors to do a variety of tasks all the time.

Contractors are typically hired when a company needs to do a one-time or very specific type of task. Instead of hiring another employee for short-term work, they hire contractors. This happens often when retail stores hire seasonal workers during the holiday season.

Increasingly, professionals are choosing to work for themselves and offer their services on a contract basis rather than work for a specific company. This also benefits the company as they may not always need those particular services so hiring a dedicated employee isn’t in their best interest.

If you work as a contractor, a solid contract is a must to protect yourself. Your livelihood quite literally depends on it. Take a look at the free printable contracts for contractors we have here on Proposable.com. Whether you need a simple contractor agreement or a construction contract template in Google Docs, we have a binding contract template that will work for you.

Simple Event Contract Template

Another common type of contract is the simple event contract. Vendors such as catering services, photographers, DJs, cake decorators, florists, and more offer their services on a contract basis for a specific event. The event can be anything from a corporate luncheon to a wedding to a charity fundraiser event.

Regardless of the type of event, event contractors should always have a solid contract in place and carry liability insurance. Anything can happen at an event and having insurance protects them in the event that the client decides to sue them.

To make it easy, on Proposable.com you can find a simple event contract template, an event hosting contract, or an event services agreement. For more specific information you can also find a day of event coordinator contract or event planner contracts and fees.

Whatever type of contract you need to protect yourself, you can find it on Proposable.com. We’re in the business of making the paperwork easy so you can focus on your business and not have to worry about the paperwork so much.
