A.Hi,
An oral contract is one whose terms have been agreed upon through verbal conversation. In contrast to a written contract, which is a written document, a verbal contract is a spoken deal.

A.Dear Sir/Mam,

No legal action can be initiated in this case as there is no agreement between both the parties. To initiate the legal process, you must have an agreement between the two.
