Overview - mou memorandum of understanding legal agreements Registration

What is it?

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) - also called a Letter of Intent (LOI) or Heads of Terms - records the mutual understanding and agreed commercial terms between two parties before a full formal agreement is executed. It may or may not be legally binding, depending on how it is drafted.

Binding vs. non-binding provisions

A well-drafted MOU typically contains: Non-binding provisions: Commercial terms, intent, scope - subject to final agreement. Binding provisions: Exclusivity (no negotiating with competitors during the MOU period), confidentiality, and dispute resolution.

Common use cases

Pre-investment term sheets, strategic partnership discussions, government-business collaboration, academic research collaborations, real estate transactions (before Sale Deed), JV formation discussions, and franchise discussions.

Risk of poorly drafted MOUs

If an MOU is not clearly marked as non-binding and does not contain appropriate caveats, a court may treat it as a binding agreement - especially if one party has acted in reliance on the MOU's terms. This is the most common MOU drafting mistake.
