In order for a contract to be valid, it must include the following essential terms identification of the parties to the contract, subject matter of the contract, time for performance of the contract duties, and amount of payment / compensation.
The contract must be signed by the parties to the agreement.
If the contract is missing any of these essential terms, it is not valid and the missing essential terms provide a defense to formation of the contract.
