— or (2) unilateral, where the one side only is bound;

— or (3) oorwnwtatif, where one does to the other something which is supposed to be an equivalent for what the other does to him;

— or (4) ateatoire, where the consideration for the act of the one is a mere chance;

— or (5) contrat de Menfaisance, where the one party procures to the other a purely gratuitous benefit;

— or (6) contrat d titre onereux, where each party is b;ound under some duty to the other.
