Is it right to use contract and agreement interchangablly, or these terms have little bit or more than little bit difference?

Hi,

The terms "agreement" and "contract" are one and the same. But both the terms are used differently with respect to the context.

Under the Common law, the two terms have different concepts. If the parties have a "contract", it means that the arrangement between them can be enforced by the court. But in general, an "arrangement" may not be enforceable by the court.

Thanks,

Sara

Terms & conditions of a contract can be enforced in a court of law; this is what differentiates them from agreements.

An agreement may or may not have all the required elements which can result in its enforcement in court.
