Ígéreteken

Ígéreteken is a Hungarian term that translates to "promises" in English. It refers to declarations or assurances made by one party to another, indicating an intention to perform a specific action or refrain from a certain behavior in the future. Promises are often made in personal relationships, business dealings, and legal contexts.

In personal relationships, promises can range from simple commitments, like "I promise to call you later," to more significant vows, such as marriage proposals. These promises often rely on trust and goodwill between individuals.

In business, promises are frequently embedded in contracts and agreements. These can involve delivering goods or services by a certain date, meeting specific quality standards, or fulfilling financial obligations. Failure to uphold these promises can lead to legal consequences.

Legally, a promise can form the basis of a contract if it is supported by consideration and intended to be legally binding. Certain promises, like those made under duress or for illegal acts, may not be enforceable. The concept of promissory estoppel also exists, where a promise that is reasonably relied upon can be enforced even without a formal contract, to prevent injustice.

The strength and enforceability of an ígéret depend heavily on the context, the intent of the promisor, and the expectations of the promisee. While some promises are informal and rely on personal integrity, others carry significant legal weight and can have substantial repercussions if broken.
