"合同" 在工具书中的解释
1、保险常用名词;又称契约,指当事人之间确定、变更、终止民事法律关系的协议。合同一经订立,当事人双方必须受其约束,任何一方不得擅自变更或解除。
2、亦称“契约”。当事人双方(或数方)关于设定、变更、消灭民事权利义务关系的协议。合同是双方的法律行为,它的成立须双方意思表示的一致,意思表示在先的为要约,意思表示在后的为承诺。合同的订立可以是口头或书面的。有买卖、委托、承揽、租赁等合同。一般只要双方就主要条款(标的、价金、期限以及双方约定必须遵守的其他条款。
3、又称“契约”。法人之间为实现一定的经济目的,明确各方义务和权利等关系的协议性文件。这种协议书一般使用于经济领域,所以也称“经济合同”。它是人们在经济交往中,为了保证信守协定事项而制定的对双方都具有约束力的文件,它是受法律保护的。经当事人协商同意的有关修改“合同”的信件和电报,也属于“合同”的组成部分。

A contract is an exchange of promises between two or more parties to do, or refrain from doing, an act, which resulting contract is enforceable in a court of law. It is a binding legal agreement. [1] That is to say, a contract is an exchange of promises for the breach of which the law will provide a remedy.
Agreement is said to be reached when an offer capable of immediate acceptance is met with a "mirror image" acceptance (ie, an unqualified acceptance). The parties must have the necessary capacity to contract and the contract must not be either trifling, indeterminate, impossible or illegal. Contract law is based on the principle expressed in the Latin phrase pacta sunt servanda (usually translated "pacts must be kept", but more literally "agreements are to be kept").[2] Breach of contract is recognized by the law and remedies can be provided.
Technically, any oral agreement between two parties can constitute a binding legal contract. The practical limitation to this, however, is that only parties to a written agreement have material evidence (the written contract itself) to prove the actual terms uttered at the time the agreement was struck. In daily life, most contracts can be and are made orally, such as purchasing a book or a sandwich. Sometimes written contracts are required by either the parties, or by statutory law within various jurisdiction for certain types of agreement. For example when buying a house[3] or land.
Contract law can be classified, as is habitual in civil law systems, as part of a general law of obligations (along with tort, unjust enrichment or restitution).
According to legal scholar Sir John William Salmond, a contract is "an agreement creating and defining the obligations between two or more parties".
As a means of economic ordering, contract relies on the notion of consensual exchange and has been extensively discussed in broader economic, sociological and anthropological terms (see "Contractual theory", below).
