契约 (qì yuē): Accord

After three months of negotiations, the two parties finally signed this house purchase agreement, stipulating that the property would be handed over by the end of next month.

In the old society, poor farmers were often forced to put their fingerprints on contracts, mortgaging their land to landlords.

The lawyer reminded me that the contractual clauses in this labor contract are written very vaguely, and it would be best to have a professional review them carefully before signing.

Although they only made an oral agreement, both treated this promise as a sacred pact to be honored.

According to the contract signed by both parties, if the seller breaches the agreement, they must pay the buyer compensation equivalent to ten percent of the house price.
