When personal performance is required, it means that the promisor must perform the obligation themselves, and a third party cannot perform it on their behalf. This is common in contracts where the skills or reputation of the promisor are important aspects of the agreement, such as contracts for personal services or contracts for the sale of unique or one-of-a-kind items.
