Terms Used In Maryland Code, COMMERCIAL LAW 22-305

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
An agreement that is otherwise sufficiently definite to be a contract is not invalid because it leaves particulars of performance to be specified by one of the parties. If particulars of performance are to be specified by a party, the following rules apply:

(1) Specification must be made in good faith and within limits set by commercial reasonableness.

(2) If a specification materially affects the other party’s performance but is not seasonably made, the other party:

(A) Is excused for any resulting delay in its performance; and

(B) May perform, suspend performance, or treat the failure to specify as a breach of contract.
