Condition A condition means anything that is necessary before the performance of something else. For example: You can buy the property on the condition that the money is paid in advance. Legally binding If a contract is legally binding you must obey the rules of the contract or you can be taken to court. Null and void If a contract is null and void the contract has no legal authority. It is therefore useless. Breach of contract If you are accused of breach of contract, a person is claiming you have broken your agreement. This means he/she can take you to court.
