Contracts vs. Agreements

Many people use the terms contract and agreement interchangeably, but they are not precisely the same thing. Black's Law Dictionary defines an agreement as "a mutual understanding between...parties about their relative rights and responsibilities." It defines a contract as "An agreement between...parties creating obligations that are enforceable."  (The basicks of business and agreements. 1.2.2019)
