CONTRACTS
Business relationships resemble personal relationships in many ways. However, the rules of most personal relationships are governed by an unwritten code. Business relationships, on the other hand, are often governed by written contracts which outline the terms of the arrangement, and how a contract dispute may come to an amicable end. A written contract creates a legally binding agreement wherein either party has the right to enforce the obligations and restrictions of the contract, or face the legal repercussions.

The format of the contract will largely depend on the type of agreement.
