Assume the expertise. A whole semester of university dedicated to contract law: Consumer contracts and B2B contracts in the national law, then the specifics when dealing with a party in another European country and internationally. You'll see what a contract needs to be valid during these courses. There is simply nothing about both parties requiring to gain something.

    "the best schools are free where I come from" generally implies living in one of civil law jurisdictions, where many legal principles are quite opposite from USA. A good bunch of things taught in a contract law class are subtly wrong even for a very similar neighbouring country (in EU it's now getting a bit better because of harmonization efforts) but common vs civil law changes pretty much everything. And a semester in contract law is not really much expertise - any MBA with a semester in USA contract law would have much more relevant expertise than us Europeans talking.

We certainly don't have all the facts surrounding this case, but we definitely have enough to move forward under the assumption that this would be resolved with American and probably Californian law. I'll leave you to research whether California requires consideration for valid contract.

> European country and internationally. You think you are qualified to determine ANYTHING about US contract law when you've taken a single semester in contract law related to an entirely different country? By your logic I am basically a Astronomer. Except mine is more relevant since astronomy is the same regardless of where you take a "whole semester" of it.
