You can set aside a contract if competent parties have not made it vountarily. It also may be set aside if there was grossly insufficient consideration. Also, certain contracts must be in writing, or they are unenforceable. Here is a list of other contract defenses:

• Duress
• Illegality (The contract in question is illegal. A drug deal is an example of an illegal contract.)
• Undue Influence
• Fraud
• Mistake
• Unconscionability (The contract is very one-sided and unfair.)
• Impossibility of performance
• Frustration of purpose (A change in the conditions of the contract makes performance meaningless.)

If any of the above defenses can be proven, then the contract could be deemed void or voidable. In either case, it will be as if the contract never existed. If either party paid money, it would most likely have to be returned.
If you have any question on how to get out of a contract please feel free to contact 443-494-9775 with any questions.
