What is a void agreement?

A void agreement is a contract that is not enforceable by law, typically because it is illegal, against public policy, or lacks the necessary elements to be considered a valid contract. Void agreements are considered to be invalid from the outset and have no legal effect. Examples of void agreements include contracts to commit a crime, contracts that are fraudulent, and contracts that are made by parties who lack the legal capacity to enter into a contract.

A void agreement is an agreement that is not legally enforceable because it lacks one or more of the essential elements of a valid contract, such as offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, or legality.
