The difference between contract and contract

The difference between contract and agreement:

An agreement refers to a political, economic or other contract concluded by relevant countries, political parties, enterprises, institutions, social groups or individuals on the basis of equal consultation. The agreement is basically the same as the contract in meaning, function, format and form. Economic contracts and agreements with economic contents can both be called contracts, and they are legal documents that establish the legal relationship between the parties.

Although there are similarities between contracts and agreements, there are obvious differences between them. The characteristics of the contract are clear, detailed and concrete, which stipulates the liability for breach of contract; The agreement is characterized by no specific object, simplicity, generality and principle, and does not involve liability for breach of contract. From its differences, agreement is the basis of signing a contract, and contract is the concretization of agreement.

Contract and agreement are two concepts with similarities and differences, which cannot be distinguished only by their names, but must be determined according to their substantive contents. If the content of the agreement is clear, specific, detailed and complete, and involves the liability for breach of contract, even if its name is agreement, it is also a contract; If the content of a contract is general, principled and not specific, and does not involve liability for breach of contract, even if its name is written as a contract, it cannot be called a contract, but an agreement.
