The difference between or verbal and written agreements is that written agreements definitely easier to find and use as proof if something goes wrong or to show the other person what’s in the fine print when there is a disagreement. With a verbal agreement, its very hard to remember what the other person said exactly and can lead to confusion sometimes. A lot of people above explained its easier to back up a claim with a written agreement which is true. A verbal agreement just leads to a lot of hassle. I believe a verbal agreement can help with starting up a project but eventually it should have a written agreement for future purposes. A written agreement helps both parties with what should be done by each person and what lines not to cross.
