- Oral Contract
- An agreement based on spoken words that is valid and enforceable, provided that it is provable, meets the condition of contract formation, and is not in violation of statutes that prohibit oral agreements -- for example state statutes that require sales of real property and agreements whose performance takes more than one year, must be in writing.
