What is a void contract?

A void contract is a legally non-binding agreement between two or more parties in which the terms of the contract cannot be enforced. In Arizona, a contract is typically considered void if it was not entered into with mutual consent or if it is prohibited by law. A void contract is also not legally binding because it involves a minor or an intoxicated person, or if the contract is based on illegal activities or fraud. A void contract is unenforceable because there is no specific agreement or offer that can be enforced. This means that if one party breaches the contract, the other party has no legal recourse to recover any losses. Similarly, neither party has the legal right to demand compensation from the other for any damages sustained as a result of the void contract. This means that any money or other consideration paid under the void contract cannot be recovered. When determining whether a contract is considered void in Arizona, all relevant legal principles and civil statutes should be taken into consideration. If it is found that the contract is void, then neither party can enforce the contract or claim damages from the other party. Additionally, the contract will be completely void, meaning neither party can benefit from the contract or hold the other party liable for any breach of its terms.
