Though all contract are agreements, not all agreements are contracts. Some agreements never amount to legal contracts for a range of reasons. The subject of these agreements may be of a moral, as opposed to a legal obligation, or the parties may agree expressly not to treat their agreement as a legal obligation – that is, they do not intend to have a contract. An essential attribute to an enforceable contractual agreement is therefore that of the “Intention to Contract”.
