Answer 1

As a general concept contract law is a mutual agreement between private parties. this agreement needs a law follow-up and legally enforceable as an acceptance, with consideration, offers, and capacity. in the same way patient-provider relationship in a contract that involves money, relationship, service between two parties. it is an open agreement for them. when I work in an outpatient office I have signed in a contract for not posting any material on social media about patient care. this is patient and provider contractor with the terms of condition and under the law in the organization guidelines. we need to read the terms of the contract. this is valid for the security purpose of this contract to avoid a breach of contract. Breach of contract occurs when one party breaks the promise they made in the contract. it causes damage to the other party. damages could fulfill the damages when a person suffered from a particular thing as per the legal system. there will lawyers for solving these breaches they review the contract and make solutions as the best way, they protect the rights when ever necessary.
