2. Acceptance: The other party must accept the offer without any changes or conditions.
3. Consideration: Both parties must exchange something of value, such as money, goods, or services.
4. Legal capacity: Both parties must be legally capable of entering into a contract, meaning they are of sound mind and of legal age.
5. Legal purpose: The contract must be for a legal purpose and not violate any laws or public policy.
6. Mutual agreement: Both parties must have a mutual understanding and agreement on the terms of the contract.
7. Competence: Both parties must have the ability to understand the terms and consequences of the contract.
8. Written form (if required): Some contracts must be in writing to be considered valid, such as real estate contracts or contracts that cannot be completed within one year.
It is important to ensure that all of these elements are present in a contract to avoid any potential disputes or challenges to its validity.
