What’s the Difference Between MOU, Agreement, and Contract?

 What’s the Difference Between MOU, Agreement, and Contract?” – The Legal Love Triangle! πŸ’”πŸ“ƒπŸ”

πŸ’‘Client Question of the Day:
"Advocate Ji, I signed something called an MOU… is it the same as a contract? Or just a fancy friendship letter?” πŸ˜…

πŸ˜‚Our reply: “It depends… Are you casually dating or getting legally married? Because law doesn’t treat them the same!” πŸ’πŸ–Š️

πŸ” Answer – Let’s Decode the Confusion:

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU):
MOU is a non-binding document that shows intent. It’s like saying, “We might work together someday, let’s just stay in touch!” No legal enforcement, but great for aligning future goals.

Agreement:
An Agreement is a mutual understanding between parties, with obligations but may not always be enforceable by law unless it meets Contract Act conditions. It’s the “We’re serious, but not married yet” phase! πŸ˜‰

Contract:
Now this is where things get legal and binding! A contract requires:
πŸ‘‰ Offer
πŸ‘‰ Acceptance
πŸ‘‰ Consideration
πŸ‘‰ Legal intention
πŸ‘‰ Capacity of parties
πŸ‘‰ Lawful object

It’s the full shaadi! πŸ’’ With consequences if you break it.
