I disagree with most of what people are saying. Oral contracts are not difficult to prove as long as there is just one witness. Oral contracts are just as binding as written contracts. Although there is no disputing a written contract in a court of law, something as unprotected as a piece of paper is probably just as difficult to protect as a convincing agreement which differs from the truth, that is, if one side of the deal is trying to back out saying something that happened didn’t. I also agree because most people are misunderstadning the difference between verbal oral and written. Oral is a contract made by speaking. Written is a contract made by writing the words down on paper. Verbal is any contract which uses words: written or oral.
