Hi Dana,
Speaking very generally, all contacts are agreements but not all agreements are contracts. If we agree to go for a walk we have an agreement to do something but you can change your mind and stay home. We don’t have a contract and you’re under no contractual obligation to walk with me. Contracts, on the other hand, are agreements that meet some formal requirements (generally offer, acceptance, and consideration), and that you and I agree will obligate us to do something. When we draft a contract we often refer to it as an “Agreement” within the document itself, but using the word Agreement is usually a stylistic choice and does not take away from the fact that it is a formal contract which requires us to do or to not do something. So, every contract starts with an agreement between us, but not every agreement between us becomes a contract that we have to abide by.
Hi Dana ,
I do agree with Dave , not all agreements are contract , contracts are terms and rules to perfom the scope if you agreed those terms and clauses and it will become your obligations andi t is your choice to agree on those terms .if you agreed it will become contract agreement between parties .
When a person offers something to another person (promisee) and the proposal is accepted by the concerned person with equivalent consideration, this commitment is known as the agreement. When two or more than two persons agree upon the same thing in the same sense (i.e. Consensus ad idem), this identity of minds is agreement. The following are the types of agreement are as under: Wagering Agreement Void Agreement Voidable Agreement Implied Agreement Express Agreement Conditional Agreement Illegal Agreement.
To be precise, a legally enforceable agreement for doing or not doing an act is known as a contract. A contract must contain these elements: Offer and Acceptance, Adequate and Unconditional Consideration, Free Consent, Capacity, Lawful object, Certainty, Intention of creating legal obligations, and the Agreement should not be declared void.The following are the major differences between agreement and contract: Promises and commitments forming consideration for the parties to the same consent is known as an agreement. The agreement, which is legally enforceable is known as a contract. The agreement is defined in section 2 (e) while a Contract is defined in section 2 (h) of the Indian Contract Act.

A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more entities, but a legal agreement is not always a contract. Any agreement is considered to be legally binding and becomes a contract when three conditions are met. The conditions are Offer and Acceptance, intention to create legal relation and consideration. If any one of these conditions is not met then the contract is not legally binding and it cannot be enforced on the other party.
Contract is a signed legal binding agreement between two parties while agreement can not neccessarly be signed between two parties
an agreement is an intial step or one step to gona making a deal but contract is a final signed document binding for all parties
A contract is an agreement but an agreement is not necessarily a contract because a contract, unlike an agreement has legal obligations arising therefrom.
The distinction between the agreement and the contract is not important. Both agree to have a legal effect
agreement is with two party we are able two change in any were
contract its fixed we are not able to change like between company and customers
