You need to remember the following types of obligation documents because they are part of the CPSM Exam:
  • Written Contract
  • Oral Contract
  • Electronic Contract
Written Contract A written contract refers to a written document outlining an agreement between two contracting parties. These parties can be individuals, organization, or businesses. All of the factors or portions must be indicated in the agreement, and each party involved in the agreement has to sign the document in order for it to become valid. Oral Contract Oral contract is an agreement, the terms of which have been agreed by spoken or verbal communication. An oral contract is as legally binding as a written contract. The issue of an oral contract is proving its existence. Conditions of an oral contract:
  1. An offer should be made by a party to enter into a contract on certain and specific terms.
  2. The offer must be accepted without any variations on the terms communicated.
  3. There must be considerations or something in exchange for what is being offered.
  4. Intention to create legal relations must be present.
Electronic Contract Electronic contracts are brought about by globalization. It makes transactions faster and convenient.  Just like traditional paper contracts, electronic contracts are legal and enforceable. The E-Signature Law in 2000 enabled companies to conduct business transactions online, particularly the companies that provide financial, insurance, and household services to consumers. Statute of Fraud  The Statute of Frauds refers to the legal concept that requires certain types of contracts to be executed in writing.  These contracts are the following:
  1. Contracts for the sale of land;
  2. Contracts wherein one party should pay debt to the other party;
  3. Contracts for the sale of goods; and
  4. Contracts that cannot be completed in less than 1 year.
