Definition of contractus

Definition: Contractus (pronounced kuhn-trak-tuhs) is a Latin term used in Roman law to refer to an agreement between two or more parties. The purpose of this agreement is usually to create a legally binding relationship between them.

For example, if you and your friend agree that you will pay them $50 to mow your lawn, this is a contractus. You have both agreed to certain terms (the payment and the task to be completed) and this creates a legal obligation for both of you to fulfill those terms.

It's important to note that not all agreements create a contractus in Roman law. The agreement must be made with the intention of creating a legal obligation between the parties involved.

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
