What’s the Difference Between MOU, Agreement, and Contract?” – The Legal Love Triangle! πππ
π‘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?” π
πOur reply: “It depends… Are you casually dating or getting legally married? Because law doesn’t treat them the same!” ππ️
π 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! π

✅ Contract:
Now this is where things get legal and binding! A contract requires:
π Offer
π Acceptance
π Consideration
π Legal intention
π Capacity of parties
π Lawful object
It’s the full shaadi! π With consequences if you break it.
