is a meeting of the minds between two persons
whereby one binds himself, with respect to the other to give something or to render some service.
A contract
distinguished from a contract, in that the latter establishes and determines the obligations arising
therefrom; while the former tends only to assure and pave the way for the celebration of a contract in the future.
Perfect promise
mere unaccepted offer
Imperfect Promise
a special part of the contract, sometimes incidental and separable for the principal agreement
PACT
similar to a pact; when the contract is an instrument, it refers to the essential and dispositive part, as
distinguished from the exposition of the facts and antecedents upon which it is based.
STIPULATION
without which there is no contract; they are a) consent, b) subject matter and c) cause
Essential Elements
exist as part of the contract even if the parties do not provide for them, because the law, as suppletory to the contract, creates them
Natural elements
those which are agreed by the parties and which cannot exist without stipulated
Accidental elements
The contracting parties may establish such stipulations, clauses, terms & conditions as they may deem convenient, provided they are not contrary to
law, morals, good customs, public order, or public
policy.
