written agreement
Formal documented promise
A written agreement is a formal arrangement between parties documented in writing rather than made verbally.
The term encompasses contracts, treaties, memoranda of understanding, and similar documents where terms are set down on paper or in electronic form: The lease is a written agreement binding both landlord and tenant.
Written agreements carry more legal weight than verbal ones because their terms can be verified.
