• In addition to offer and acceptance, consideration, and competent parties, a legally binding contract must have a legal purpose.
• Agreements are illegal and void if they violate a state’s civil and criminal statutes, licensing statutes, gambling statutes, usury statutes, or Sunday statutes.
• Agreements are illegal and void because they are opposed to public policy if they disclaim liability for negligence, interfere with the administration of justice, interfere with the performance of a public duty, are harmful to marriage, unreasonably restrain competition and trade, create a monopoly or limit competition, or are unconscionable.
• An agreement may be partially legal and partially illegal. If it can be separated from the part that is illegal, the legal part of the agreement may be enforced.
