An example of a business contract is a Service Agreement, which outlines the terms and conditions for the performance of a service between two parties.

It includes the names of the parties involved, the price, payment terms, and any applicable warranties or guarantees.

The five requirements of a contract are: 1) an offer, 2) acceptance of the offer, 3) consideration, 4) capacity and 5) legality.
We drastically simplify contracts; the platform has the drafts to be completed in guided simple steps, which are sent from the platform and immediately received by your counterparty in their inbox, using predetermined credentials. Your counterparty will have two options: accept and sign your offer or leave a comment for consideration and negotiation, and subsequent acceptance. You will receive notifications throughout this process to keep up and speed up the closing.
The acceptance of a contract’s terms is the agreement to the terms tendered in a contract. It must be communicated to the offeror in a way that is specified in the contract, or in a way that is reasonable in the circumstances, needless to say, that to be legally binding, has to be accepted by both parties.
In general, contracts that are electronically signed are legally binding. In order for a contract to be legally binding, it must meet certain requirements, such as the presence of offer and acceptance, consideration (i.e. something of value being exchanged), and the intention to create a legal relationship. All these requirements are covered on Cheers platform. As long as these requirements are met, a contract can be legally binding whether it is signed on paper or electronically. In fact, many countries have laws that specifically recognize the validity of electronic signatures on contracts, especially commercial contracts relating to the sale of services or goods. We always recommend seeking legal advice when in doubt, especially in highly regulated sectors such as financial services or real estate law.
You can identify the type of contract by how the acceptance is consolidated. The three types of contracts are unilateral, bilateral, and multilateral contracts. Unilateral contracts involve one party making an offer and the other party accepting it. Bilateral contracts involve two parties making promises to each other. Multilateral contracts involve more than two parties making promises to each other.
