MORE ABOUT AGREEMENT

What is a basic definition of agreement?

Agreement is the state or act of agreeing, meaning coming to a mutually approved arrangement. Agreement is also used to mean a deal in which all parties accept the conditions or a unity of opinion. Agreement has several other senses as a noun.

Agreement is the noun form of the verb agree, which means to be in harmony of feeling or opinion. Agreement, then, means the act of agreeing or a condition in which all people are content with a situation or what they must do. The opposite of agreement is disagreement.

Used in a sentence: I thought Jack’s plan was good and nodded my head in agreement with everything he said.

In a similar sense, an agreement is a deal or arrangement in which all parties accept the terms. An agreement can be an unspoken pact or an actual legal document that has punishments if it isn’t followed.

Real-life examples: In a trade agreement between the United States and Canada, both countries must approve of what they sell to each other. You might come to an agreement with your friends to split the cost of a dinner. When renting a car, a customer will sign a rental agreement that outlines how much they will pay the lender if the car is damaged.
Used in a sentence: The United Nations negotiated a peace agreement between the two warring countries.

Where does agreement come from?

The first records of agreement come from around 1375. It ultimately comes from Middle French agrément. It combines the verb agree, meaning “to have the same views” or “to give consent ,” with the suffix -ment, that forms a noun describing a state (refreshment), a product (fragment), or a means (ornament).

Definition: In legal parlance, the word ‘agreement’ is used to mean a promise/commitment or a series of reciprocal promises which constitutes consideration for the parties to contract.

In an agreement, one person offers or proposes something to another person, who in turn accepts the same. In other words, offer plus acceptance amounts to the agreement, or we can say that an accepted proposal is an agreement.

What is a Promise?

The party to the agreement, to whom the offer is given or proposal is made, gives his/her assent in this regard for mutual consideration, the offer is considered as accepted, which results in a promise.

What are Reciprocal Promises?

In the Contract Act, the word ‘reciprocal’ refers to ‘mutual or give-and-take’. Hence, ‘reciprocal promise’ is the promise which results in consideration or part thereof, for the parties to the agreement.

The main characteristics of the agreement are discussed below:

Plurality of Persons: To constitute an agreement, at least two persons should be there, as one person cannot make an agreement with himself/herself.
Consensus ad idem: It is a Latin term, which implies “Concurrence of Minds”, i.e. when in an agreement there is a common understanding between the parties with respect to the terms and conditions of the agreement.

This means that the parties to the agreement must agree upon the same thing in the same sense, as it was intended, with respect to their corresponding rights and duties, concerning the performance of promises in the past or future.

Elements of Agreement

Basically there are two key elements of the agreement, which are discussed as under:

Offer/Proposal: A person makes an offer, when he/she expresses to another person his/her willingness to undertake an obligation, in exchange for a promise, act or abstinence. The person who expresses his/her willingness or the one who makes the offer is known as offeror or proposer, whereas the person to whom the offer is made, is regarded as the offeree.
Offer made by the offeror must be clear, i.e. the terms concerning the offer must be certain. In addition to this, the offer should be communicated to the offeree, which is considered as complete when the offeree comes to know about it.
Acceptance: As the name signifies, when the offeree gives his/her assent to the offeror, either expressly or impliedly to receive or undertake something which is proposed to him/her, it is considered as acceptance. It is required to be communicated to the person who makes the offer, in the prescribed mode, within a reasonable time. It must be unqualified and absolute.
Further, when the offer is made to a particular person, it is required to be accepted by that specific person only. However, in case of a general offer, it is open to all and anyone can accept it.

Examples

Alex offers to sell his Royal Enfield to Ben for Rs. 80,000. So, when Ben accepts the offer, it becomes an agreement.
John orders pizza from Domino’s, which is executed by Domino’s by sending pizza at the given address. In this case, John’s order for pizza results in an offer, which was accepted by Domino’s by sending Pizza, which constitutes an agreement.
Alpha Ltd. sends an offer letter with respect to a job opening to Peter when the offer letter is accepted and signed by Peter, it amounts to an agreement.

The term ‘agreement’ is broader in comparison to ‘contract‘, as in “Every contract is an agreement, but vice versa is not possible”. This is because, all the contracts, contains the elements of the agreement, i.e. offer and acceptance, however, not all the agreement contains the main element which constitutes a contract, i.e. Legal enforceability. So, we can say that every agreement is not a contract.

Synonyms: agreement, bargain, compact², covenant, deal¹, pact
These nouns denote an understanding between parties specifying what is expected of each: made an agreement that I would replace any of the items I lost or damaged; kept my end of the bargain and mowed the lawn; made a compact to correspond regularly; vows that constituted a covenant between the marriage partners; made a deal that if her parents got a new dog, she would walk it; a solemn pact to support each other in times of trouble.

Our Living Language Sometimes vernacular varieties of English do not conform to the standard pattern of subject-verb agreement, such as in the constructions She walk, People goes, and Pat and Terry likes the new movie. The standard pattern requires an -s ending on present-tense verbs with third-person singular subjects (such as the teacher or he/she/it) and no ending on verbs with any other kind of subject. Speakers who do not follow this pattern smooth out this irregularity by using -s endings for all persons and numbers (I/you/she/we/they walks) or by using no inflection at all (I/you/she/we/they go). The regularization of agreement patterns is not confined to today’s vernacular dialect speakers. Subject-verb agreement has become progressively simpler throughout the development of English. In older varieties of English, all verbs took endings for person and number in both present and past tense. Vernacular speakers who use patterns such as she go or the students walks are carrying on the historic tradition of simplifying agreement patterns. See Note at be

Agreement/Disagreement

Agreement

Lamourette’s kiss A short-lived reconciliation, particularly one that is made insincerely; an ephemeral rapprochement; subterfuge; shrewd or cunning deceit. The Lamourette in this expression was Abbé Lamourette, a French politician who, on July 7, 1792, convinced the many discordant factions of the Legislative Assembly of France to lay aside their differences and work together for the common good. After much demonstration and protestation of peace-making, the legislators soon lapsed into their former hostilities, but with even more animosity and rancor than before. Since that time, the expression has been used figuratively, usually in reference to transitory or disingenuous political agreements.

package deal An agreement or settlement in which all of the conditions must be either accepted or rejected; an all-or-nothing arrangement or plan which involves the acceptance of one or more negative elements as a requisite to achieving a generally favorable goal. Originally, a package deal was a group of goods which were wrapped in one package and sold at a bargain tprice, one lower than the combined cost of purchasing each item separately. Although this connotation is still retained, package deal usually refers to a political or industrial pact which contains several related or unrelated provisions, all of which must be accepted or rejected as a unit. Package deal has also enjoyed some jocular use, often in reference to a person ’s spouse or family.

strike a bargain To conclude a bargain or other deal; to settle or arrange the terms of a transaction; to agree on a compromise or other settlement. This expression alludes to the ancient Greek and Roman custom of sealing a business contract by striking (i.e., killing) an animal and offering it as a sacrifice to their deities. Although this tradition is long since gone, the expression persists.

As soon as the bargain is struck, the property of the goods is transferred to the vendee. (Sir William Blackstone, Commentary on the Laws of England, 1766)

With the demise of sacrificial offerings, it became customary in many societies to seal an agreement by shaking or striking hands, thus the related and synonymous strike hands.

An agreement generally between two males or occasionaly two parties (I.E countries) in which an informal agreement is made as apposed to something that is signed and ratified and usually has no legal basis, it is simply a man giving his word that he will do something which is based on the traditional value of honour amongst gentlemen.

Great caution must be excercised when forming this type of agreement because it is not legally binding in any way and can result in a negative outcome. Urban Dictionary
