side agreement

Read a random definition: clear title

A quick definition of side agreement:

A side agreement is an extra agreement that goes along with another agreement. For example, if two people make a deal to sell a car, they might also make a side agreement about who will pay for any repairs needed before the sale. Side agreements can also be used in international trade deals to add extra rules about things like labor standards or environmental protection.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A side agreement is an ancillary agreement that is made in addition to another agreement. It can be a separate agreement that is negotiated to supplement a broader agreement or treaty. For example, NAFTA contains no provisions about labor standards or environmental protection. But two side agreements about those areas were negotiated separately and designed to supplement NAFTA, making the treaty more attractive to the ratifying bodies.

Example: In a business deal, a side agreement may be made between two parties to address a specific issue that is not covered in the main agreement. For instance, a company may enter into a side agreement with a supplier to ensure that the supplier will provide the necessary raw materials at a fixed price for a certain period of time. This side agreement will be ancillary to the main agreement between the two parties.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a side agreement is made to address a specific issue that is not covered in the main agreement. The side agreement is ancillary to the main agreement and is negotiated separately to supplement the main agreement. In this case, the side agreement ensures that the supplier will provide the necessary raw materials at a fixed price for a certain period of time, which is not covered in the main agreement.

What constitutes "diverse background" for the spivey pro bono?
I'm as "nURM" as they come, but I was the victim of a violent crime which absolutely tanked my grades. I would really want expert help on tackling that in my GPA addendum and my PS, but don't really have thousands to throw at consultants
