Question

Rob promised Rupert that he would paint the inside of his house for $5,000. Rupert agrees to Rob's offer. If Rob fails to perform, a court could enforce the promise or award damages to Rupert. The enforceable promises between Rob and Rupert are known as a(n) __________.

Answer 1

contract

Step-by-step explanation:

A contract is a form of enforceable agreement between two parties that are legally binding. Both parties in the contract have to do the responsibilities/promises written there and any breach for the agreement can result as enforcement from the court. While a verbal contract is possible in some law, it's really hard to be proven so it's better to have a written contract instead.

Not everything can be put into a contract. If the contract against public policy, the contract will be illegal and an agreement is written there will be invalid.
