An agreement of expression of will is an instrument that expresses the intention to conclude an agreement and is agreed by the other party, and it has no legal effect. This agreement is to show an intention, not a formal agreement. Therefore, its signature method is more casual, generally there are two ways. The first is a separate signature, which is only signed by the party that issued the letter of intent, but the document is in duplicate. The second form is joint signature. Although this is only an expression of meaning, it still maintains the agreed form in form.

Intentional agreement is an instrument that expresses the intention to conclude an agreement and is agreed by the other party. Although there is also a written contract that needs to be signed, it has no legal effect.

This agreement is to show an intention, not a formal agreement. So you can sign it at will. Generally, there are two ways. The first copy is signed separately, only by the party who sent the letter of intent, but the document needs to be in duplicate. The second form is joint signature. Although this is only an expression of meaning, the form is still the form of agreement.

The law does not stipulate the validity of the agreement of expression of will, and the usual content of the agreement of expression of will contains clauses that make it non-binding. If the intent agreement lists clauses such as "this intent agreement is not legally binding", these clauses in the intent agreement usually indicate that both parties do not want to be bound by the relevant contents. Therefore, in general, intentional agreements do not have the same legal effect as contracts.

Intention contract is a written agreement reached by the task entrusting party and the contractor in advance. On this basis, the contractor can start manufacturing supplies or prepare to provide services. When the interests of the buyer require the contractor to make a binding commitment, this contract can be adopted, so that the work can be carried out immediately, and it is impossible to have enough time to negotiate a clear contract to meet the demand.
