In a non-binding agreement the parties have still agreed to do something, and have a moral obligation to do it.  If circumstances change, however, they have the option to stop doing it. 

 

Note that although there is no direct penalty, there may be consequences: for example the other parties may also change their behaviour.  In other words, breaking a non-binding agreement still has costs and risks.

In many instances you can compare the Non-Binding Agreement with a Letter of Intent.

It states the intents and conditions for entering into a future binding contractual arrangement.

The non-binding agreements are designed to create clear understanding between the parties to the agreement on arrangement reached between them, without creating legal binding on either party. This is helpful in many situations like purchase of big complicated projects, where before purchasing many other things are involved and without money both parties may do many things and the deal may not be taken place.

 

Also the Contracts which permit each party to withdraw from the agreed arrangements also becomes a non-binding agreement. This kind of agreements is applicable only to ongoing relationships and arrangements rather than one time performance of some act.
