Question

what should you check for before signing a contract?
the other partys reputation
blank spaces that could be filled later
the color of the ink
the paper quality
question 2
what is the term for when both parties agree to the contract terms?
legal validation
consensus ad idem
mutual consideration
time requirement

Explanation:

For the first question: Checking blank spaces prevents unauthorized additions to the contract after signing, which is a critical contractual safeguard. The other options do not impact the legal validity or fairness of the contract terms.
For the second question: Consensus ad idem is the legal term meaning both parties have a shared, identical understanding and agreement on all key contract terms, which is a core requirement for a valid contract. The other terms do not describe this mutual agreement.

Answer:

1. Blank spaces that could be filled later
2. Consensus ad idem
