INTRODUCTION TO CONTRACTS IN PRIVATE SECURITY

Course Description

A contract is an agreement between two or more parties for the provision of goods and services. Contracts are legally binding agreements. This means that should a party to a contract fail to perform their obligations as stated in the contract, they may face legal consequences. 
To avoid inconveniences caused by these consequences, one must understand all the dynamics of contracts and the legal requirements as provided for in the law. 
This course takes learners through these dynamics, uncovering details on various concepts, terms, and legalities of contracts. The course begins by explaining the formation of contracts, where it defines the term ‘contract,’ explores the process of making and accepting offers of contracts, and highlighting the important things one ought to note on the acceptance of offers. 
It also uncovers the concepts of contractual consideration, contractual intention, and the form which contracts should assume. The course then proceeds to explore the contents of contracts by explaining both express and implied terms in contracts. 
Importantly, the course covers the various ways that contracts may end and concludes by making application of the dimensions mentioned earlier and principles to employment and commercial situations. 
It relates the principles applied in employment and commercial contracts to the Kenyan law, making the two applications relevant to Kenyan situations in the current times.
