“A contract is a promise or a set of promises for the breach of which the law gives a remedy, or the performance of which the law in some way recognizes a duty. [Citation omitted.] In other words, an express contract connotes an exchange of promises where the parties have communicated in some manner the terms to which they agree to be bound. [Citation omitted.] In order to declare the existence of a contract, the parties to the contract must consent to its terms, there must be a meeting of the minds of both parties, and the contract must be definite and certain. [Citations omitted.]”
