Question: 1 / 400

Which term describes a contract that is missing one or more elements and is not enforceable?

Voidable

Void

A contract that is missing one or more essential elements necessary for it to be valid is termed "void." For a contract to be enforceable, it must contain all the requisite elements: offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, and lawful purpose. When an element is missing, the contract fails to create any legal obligations or rights for the parties involved. Therefore, it is as if the contract never existed in a legal sense, rendering it void.

This term is distinct from "voidable," which refers to a contract that may be rendered unenforceable at the option of one party but is otherwise valid unless that party chooses to void it. "Breach of contract" pertains to the failure to perform according to the contract terms, while "enforceable" describes a contract that meets all legal requirements and can be upheld in a court of law.
