C., January 30, 1969—6-B What Is A BY RICHARD GANTT Attorney Presbyterian College. A contract is an agreement that is enforceable by law. It is an agreement between two or more parties that creates one or more obligations which, if not perform ed, may be enforced in a court. Why should you know about con tracts? Daily activities involve law. Renting, buying property, borrowing money, and even tak ing your clothes to a dry clean er involve contracts. These are the elements necessary to form contracts: (1) Competent parties: A person, must be twenty-one (21) in Soujth Carolina in order to enter ipto a contract. Contracts made by a minor are usually voidable and may be voided by a minor be fore he reaches his majority (ex cept in the case of conveyances of land.) He may also void them within a reasonable time after becoming twenty-one unless he has openly ratified them. (2) Offer and acceptance, a- greement: The offer must be de- Contract? RICHARD GANTT finite. It must be communicated. The acceptance maybe made only by the party to whom the offer was made and must be identi cal with the offer. Fraud is a false representation of con cealment and will make the con tract voidable. In South Carolina the maximum contract rate of interest is seven percent per annum. (3) Consideration. To make a promise enforceable there must be consideration in the form of a return promise, an act per formed or a forbearance. (4) The agreement can be for mal or simple. It is most im portant that the contract be writ ten. This will prevent misunder standing. Contracts can be ex press or implied. The express contract is one where all the con ditions are written. The implied contract is one in which the agreement is not reached by words, written or spoken, but by acts of the parties. As example of an implied contract is board ing a bus. Although no words are spoken, it is understood that you will pay the fare that is charged and that the company will trans port you. Because we must engage in the use of contracts to ac complish our daily activities, it is advisable to insure that all agreements are in writing. Par ties entering Into a contract should read it completely and un derstand what they sign. Many terms I have used are necessarily general in nature. Your legal ad visor can answer specific ques tions. * * * Consult about this question: My father tells me to plan my life insur ance by the amount of money I would want my family to receive each month for a certain number of years. Is H correct that $19,000 of insur ance will pay roughly $100 per month for 20 years? BAILEY AGENCY Dial Day S3,)-0681 — Night and Sunday 833-0323 M. S.
