A contract is determined as a written agreement or written documents of parties on rights and obligations of each one when performing the contract as agreed in the contract and complied with the law.

Especially, in the area of commerce and business because it protect confidential information and business relationships, save time and money for parties as well as reduce and minimize damage. The State encourage this method and the principle of civil rights respect are regulated in the legal system.

This is a common solution when parties agree to choose a third-party (mediator or mediation center) to listen to each other, argue and discuss to reach a settlement. This method help the discussion more effective and objective because the mediator(s) shall analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each party. However, mediator(s) have no authority to enforce agreement.
