    There are four kinds of contracts: 1. Rescissible contracts are valid but subject to rescission if one party is damaged. 2. Voidable contracts are valid unless annulled, such as those where consent is vitiated. 3. Unenforceable contracts are not valid in court until ratified, for example those made without proper authority. 4. Void/inexistent contracts are invalid and produce no effect, like those whose purpose is illegal or impossible.

Unenforceable Contracts Those that cannot be enforced in court or sued upon by reason of certain defects provided by law until and unless they are ratified according to law.

    Void/Inexistent Contracts

    Definition

    Contracts that are validly agreed upon because all the essential elements exist.

    Those which, because of certain defects, generally produce no effect at all.

    Binding Force

    Valid and enforceable although subject to rescission by the court when there is economic damage or prejudice to one of the parties or to a third person. There is no defect at all but by reason of some external facts, its enforcement would cause injustice.

    Valid and binding between parties unless annulled by a proper action in court. Once ratified, they become absolutely valid and can no longer be annulled.

    Valid and unenforceable in court unless they are cured or ratified. Once ratified, these contracts may be enforceable.

    Valid and binding unless avoided or declared void by a party to the contract who is legitimately exercising a power to avoid the contractual obligations.
