What does Legally Binding Mean?
If you’ve ever signed a lease, gotten married, used a checking account, or even used various Internet sites like wiseGEEK or YouTube, you’ve made certain agreements. These agreements are often called legally binding agreements, because they define the terms undertaken during a contract. Legally binding simply means that one agrees with the terms under a written or spoken contract to behave in certain ways. The terms and conditions of such a contract can either prohibit or define appropriate behavior under the agreement. Violation of terms in a legally binding agreement can either void the contract, or cause legal repercussions.
