OVERVIEW:Contracts between individuals or businesses need not always be in writing and almost always deal with matters involving the purchase, sale, delivery or provision of goods or services. Contracts can be breached, intentionally or not, by either party. A breach of contract can occur when either party fails to provide the agreed goods or services, fails to timely provide the agreed goods or services, or fails to timely pay for the agreed goods or services. Since many contracts contain provisions for penalties in the event of a breach, it is very important that you thoroughly review the contract before signing it as almost all contracts between two or more consenting parties will be enforced in court.
