A letter of intent or “LOI” is non-binding between two (2) parties who intend to create a formal agreement at a later time. The letter expresses the “intent” of both parties that will be the basis of a formal contract. It is recommended to include a clause stating whether the document is binding or non-binding to avoid legal issues. If not, a court may deem any of the terms mentioned in the letter as binding and enforceable.
