Enforceable Contract

Definition: An enforceable contract is an agreement for which the law permits a party to seek a remedy if the other party fails to perform.

Example

A properly formed written purchase agreement may allow the injured party to seek the remedies available under its terms and applicable law.

Keep the distinction clear

Enforceable does not mean every requested remedy will be granted. Conditions, defenses, deadlines, and the particular breach still affect the outcome.
