 Is an MOU Legally Binding or Just Fancy Stationery?” ✍️📦

A frequently asked (and mildly dramatic 😅) question we hear is:
👉 “Sir, we signed an MoU with a vendor at a cafe. Is it legally binding, or just a formality?”

🥁 Answer: It depends!
In India, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) can sometimes be legally binding – but not always. It all boils down to intent, language, and structure. If the MoU contains essential elements of a contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872 – offer, acceptance, consideration, and intention to create legal relations – boom 💥, it’s enforceable! Otherwise, it’s just a glorified wish list 📃✨.

📌 When MoUs Are Enforceable:
✅ Clear intent to form a binding agreement
✅ Signed by both parties with specific obligations
✅ Includes consideration (money, service, etc.)
✅ Actionable clauses and legal remedy in case of breach

📌 When MoUs Are NOT Enforceable:
❌ Vague terms like “may”, “might”, “shall discuss later”
❌ Lack of consideration
❌ No legal obligation clearly stated

⚖️ Why This Matters:
Startups often use MoUs before full-blown contracts. But using the wrong MoU can land you in soup 🍜 or make you look legally clueless. Better safe than sued! 🙈
