Investopedia explains 'Bilateral Contract'
A bilateral contract, as opposed to a unilateral contract, is the type of contract that frequently comes to mind when contemplating contracts. It is a contract between two people or parties. An example of a bilateral contract would be the contract for the sale of a home. A home buyer agrees to pay the seller a certain amount of money in exchange for the title to the home; the home seller agrees to deliver the title in exchange for the specified sale price. When the contract is not fulfilled there is a breach in contract.
