SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF THE PRELIMINARY AGREEMENT AND THE OPTION TO CONCLUDE THE AGREEMENT

Abstract

This study is devoted to the legal analysis and the problem of distinguishing between a preliminary agreement and an option to conclude the agreement. The article analyzes the signs of these legal structures, also concludes that, despite the similarities, there are many significant differences that emphasize their features and independence. At the same time, the authors note that the structure of the preliminary agreement, which guarantees the conclusion of the agreement, is more stringent, in contrast to the option, which does not oblige, but gives the right to conclude the agreement.
