A Nation3 Agreement is a contract between two or more parties, secured by the Nation3 Legal System. Think of it as an internet-native handshake, defined by mutually agreed terms and backed by crypto assets.

Each party puts a specific amount of assets as collateral when entering the agreement. These assets can only be claimed in case of a breach, to compensate any affected parties.

All parties in an Agreement are bound by its terms. If they breach those terms, they can be taken to a Nation3 Court (ultimately, the [Supreme Court](/legal-system/supreme-court.md)) for dispute resolution.

The terms of the agreement terms are set out in English, typically using [Linked Markdown](https://github.com/linkedmd) for clear formatting. The terms can include any clause agreed upon the parties, but must adhere to Nation3 [Law](/legal-system/law.md) and any other applicable laws.

Nation3 Agreements can cover all types of contracts, clearly defining each party's liability and offering a built-in, efficient way to resolve disputes in the internet age.\\
