Step-by-step solutions +
A **gratuitous contract** is one where one party assumes an obligation that benefits the other without receiving anything in return.
- A classic example is **donating to charity**. The donor provides money or goods without expecting compensation or services.
- This type of agreement is enforceable under Quebec law if it meets formal requirements, even though there is no consideration involved.
These contracts are grounded in goodwill and generosity and can still have legal weight if documented properly.
Final Answer: C
