What Is The Difference Between The Contract And The Agreement?

Contract is an agreement between two or more person creating rights and duties between them and which is enforceable by law. Pollock defines contract as every agreement and promise enforceable at law is contract.

A contract is an agreement creating and stating responsibility between the parties. According to section2b of the contract act, an agreement enforceable by law is contract. So it is clear the contract consist of two elements:
• An agreement
• The agreement should be enforceable by law.
According to section 2e every promise and combination of promises making the consideration for each other is an agreement. It is clear from the definition that promise is an agreement. Section 2 defines the promise as when any person with the suggestion is made indicate his assent thereto, it means the proposal is accepted. A proposal when accepted becomes a promise. We can say that an agreement is an accepted proposal. The process of definition shows that a contract is an agreement, an agreement is a promise and a promise is an accepted proposal. An agreement therefore comes into existence only when one party makes a proposal or offer to the other and that other signifies his assent thereto. In short every agreement is the result of a proposal from one side and its acceptability by the other.

A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that must be enforceable by law whereas a mere agreement is an arrangement between the parties which may or may not contain the necessary elements to be enforceable before a court of law,
