Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The contract is not a binding agreement in the legal sense, but it is a pledge of trust and dedication. It provides the motivation to see the contract through to completion. All parties feel responsible for keeping promises; all want to achieve the intended outcomes. A legal contract would specify the consequences if it is not fulfilled. It is also more than just a written plan, and it would not be used to request grants or funding.
