FAQ

A promise is a claim of intent to act in a certain manner or to refrain from acting in a certain manner. A promise is made by a promisor to the promisee. The one who claims intent is the promisor, and the one to whom the claim of intent is made is the promisee.

Contracts. Chapter 301. Contracts—Formation, Interpretation, and Enforceability. WPI 301.02 Promise Defined. A promise is an expression that justifies the person to whom it is made in reasonably believing that a commitment has been made that something specific will happen or not happen in the future.

Suppose one party, the offeror, makes a statement or a promise that causes another party to rely on that statement in such a way that they are financially injured by that reliance. In that case, a court will enforce the statement or promise as if it were a valid contract.

Someone must make a promise. Someone else must genuinely and justifiably rely on the promise. The actions that are taken in reliance on the promise must be reasonably foreseeable to the person who makes the promise. Injustice will occur if the promise isn't enforced.

The Parties Must Be Capable of Forming a Contract. The Contract Must Be For a Legal Purpose. The Contract Should Be in Writing.
